……断断续续搞了好多年（但每次都极其短暂）。我在1995年就买过一本讲 Scheme 的书，由此可见我在技术荒野里摸索了有多久。直到2012年我发现了 Erlang（感谢《七周七语言》（Seven Languages in Seven Weeks）），我才终于找到了动力，这很大程度上也是因为它的语法极其简单，而且专门为服务端编程设计，而服务端开发一直是我最乐在其中的领域。我到现在都还没能完全出师……
…occasionally (but very, very briefly) for years. I bought a book on Scheme in 1995, to give you a sense of how long I wandered in the wilderness. It wasn't until I discovered Erlang in 2012 (thanks, Seven Languages in Seven Weeks) that I finally found the motivation, aided in no small part by the fact that it's a very simple language and it's designed for server programming, where I've always been happiest.

……文章、书籍、源代码。越是和你已知的东西不同，效果就越好。尽量拓宽涉猎面。编程语言也是同理。一个很好的切入点是《七周七语言》（Seven Languages in Seven Weeks）这本书，因为它涵盖了非常广泛的语言类型。但动手比读书重要得多：多写代码。去做书里的练习题，把你看到的例子、文章和源码亲手试一遍……
…articles, books, source code. The more it is different from what you already know the better. Get as diverse a coverage as possible. Same goes for programming languages. A good starting point is the book "Seven languages in seven weeks" because it covers a broad spectrum of language types. But much more important than reading is doing: write a lot of code. Do the exercises in books you read, try out what you see in examples/articles/source…
……如果我被困在孤岛上只能带一门语言，那依然必须是 C。对于这里想找点指引深入学习其他语言的朋友，我推荐这两本书：布鲁斯·泰特（Bruce Tate）的《七周七语言》（Seven Languages in Seven Weeks）https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Languages-Weeks-Programming-Pro... 布鲁斯·泰特（Bruce Tate）的《七周七语言续篇/七周七并发模型》（Seven More Languages in Seven Weeks）https://www.amazon.com/Seven-More-Languages-Weeks-Shaping/dp... 你可以边读边练……
…a lonely island with me where I was stranded, it would still have to be C. To those here who would like to have some guidance diving into other languages I can recommend these two books: Bruce Tate: Seven Languages in Seven Weeks https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Languages-Weeks-Programming-Pro... Bruce Tate: Seven More Languages in Seven Weeks https://www.amazon.com/Seven-More-Languages-Weeks-Shaping/dp... You can work through them…
……程序员。无论你有没有相关学位，持续阅读和动手实践都是必须的。想对本行的基本功有个全面的入门了解，去买本《代码大全》（Code Complete）。想泛览主流的编程语言范式，就买《七周七语言》（Seven Languages in Seven Weeks）。值得读的书还有很多，但讲真，把这两本读完会是一个非常好的开始，而且会给你带来立竿见影的实用价值。
…programmer. Ongoing reading and playing is required whether you've got a degree or not. For a broad introduction to your craft go buy Code Complete. For a survey of popular programming language paradigms get Seven Languages in Seven Weeks. There's a lot more to read but seriously reading those two will be a nice start and will have a practical impact for you.
