Career Advice
Hi,

I not sure if this is the right place to ask this question and if I'm wrong I apologize.

I'm a systems administrator and have about 5 years of experience. I have worked on

Solaris
HP-UX
*linux
Visualization ( VMWare )

And I'm comfortable with shell and Perl.

Of late, amidst the cloud talk and how the Unix/Linux system administrator jobs would be, I have been quite lost. I now plan to either move to programming or application.

1] Programming : I have no experience in programming and have to learn C ( thats where I have to start)

2] Other option is application ( J Boss, Apache, Tomcat, WebSphere)

I'm very confused Smilie, though programming is not my strong area and I have to learn it I'm fascinated when the shell/Perl code i wrote works. On the other hand application and Linux administration comparatively seem easy.

Experts, I request you to guide me as to what is best as per the future.

Thanks in advance

purity-ng

PURITY-NG(6)							   Games Manual 						      PURITY-NG(6)

NAME

       purity-ng - general purpose purity testing software

SYNOPSIS

       purity-ng [OPTION]...  list|FILE|TESTNAME

DESCRIPTION

       Purity  is  an  interactive purity test program with a simple, user interface and datafile format.  For each test, questions are printed to
       the your terminal, and you are prompted for an answer to the current question.  At a prompt, these are your choices:

	      y      Answer "yes" to the question.
	      n      Answer "no" to the question.
	      b      Backup  one  question, if you answered it incorrectly, or someone is watching you take the test, and you don't (or do) want to admit a different answer.
	      s      Print your current score on the test you are taking.
	      q      Quit the test, and print the current score.
	      ?      Print a help screen for the current prompt.

       At the end of the test, your score is printed out.  For most purity tests, lower scores denote more "experience" of the test material.

OPTIONS

       --version
	      print current version of purity-ng

       -h, --help
	      show the help message and exit

       -p     print the test without prompting for answers.

       -r     decrypt the test using the Rot 13 algorithm.

       To get a list of all purity tests available globally on your system, run purity-ng list.
