Well, just to clear one thing up: Linux isn't a programming language, it's
an operating system. :) Python's good to learn (wish I had the time), and
try out perl while you're at it.
C++ and Java are good, but try learning C (first, preferably), since it's
a lower-level language. The higher-level stuff is good for fast
programming, but bad for really learning what's going on.
As far as books go, I recommend anything by O'Reilly (www.oreilly.com),
and for a site, linuxprogramming.com.
