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

Geometry::Primitive(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  Geometry::Primitive(3pm)

NAME
Geometry::Primitive - Primitive Geometry Entities SYNOPSIS
Geometry::Primitive is a device and library agnostic system for representing geometric entities such as points, lines and shapes. It provides simple objects and many convenience methods you would expect from a simple geometry library. use Geometry::Primitive::Point; my $foo = Geometry::Primitive::Point->new(x => 1, y => 3); ... DISCLAIMER
I'm not a math guy. I hate math. I will likely learn a lot in the process of making this library. If you are a math person you will probably look at this and find many things missing or wrong. Patches are encouraged. I will likely find that I've done something completely wrong having taken geometry over 10 years ago. C'est la vie. ENTITIES
Arc Bezier Circle Ellipse Line Point Polygon Rectangle SERIALIZATON
All of the entities in this library support serialization via MooseX::Storage. This is primarily to support serialization in consumers of this library, but may be useful for other purposes. All classes are set to JSON format and File IO. AUTHOR
