You learn the basics of turning your ideas into code. I don't believe for a second that if a person starts off with NT command scripting they are going to be harmed for life.
yes, i agree with you too. Just that if the tools used does not support your ideas in programming, then its not really a good tool.
If cmd scripts are bad and wicked then Bash can't be much better.
if you really had used bash, you would know its way much better than cmd, in terms of what it can provide, like arrays, regular expressions, string processing, printf, getting web pages, while loops, ...etc.
There are many doors that open into the world of programming. The important thing is to open one and pass through.comm
its even better if one knows which one to open in the first place.
whatever it is, we are not living in the 80's, or 90's anymore. programming languages have evolved a great deal since then together with technology. they are there to help the programmer write better and more efficient code in the least amount of time. that's the reality in the 21st century.
