You do what ever floats your boat!
You might want to get off the top of your Amiga first though, the plastic might be a bit brittle after all these years if it is an A500. :lol:
Seriously, the Amiga community is in desperate need of more programmers. So, if you have any interest or desire to really learn, pick up as many programming books as you can comfortably read and if you are starting at the bottom with no experience at all, you might want to enroll in a community college to take some night classes in beginning programming theory and a math refresher course.
