I've been programming for a year but I still feel like a complete noob in the fundamental areas of computing.

Basically, I want to know how operating systems work (starting with *nix), and how networking & the internet works. First, the basics, and then in more detail.

Books? Online resources? Courses? General explanations? Pls be gentle.

Read. The. Sticky

Done.

I'm not asking for tech support, nor am I asking for reviews on a product.

I'm starting a discussion about technology, which is what the sticky states this board is for.

Read the sticky and then read my post.

Never knew of this wiki. Thank you.

I've been told Tanenbaum's works are mustreads.

Have you done a lot of C?

You will never know everything. It's better to just pick a topic and study it. You will stop feeling like a noob in this after 4 more years, give or take.

On another note, this is a bad website to ask this question on, since 80% of /g/ are retards. Go on Quora or something to ask shit like that.

Yeah. A year or so. I understand pointers, structures, arrays etc. I still need to learn more about data structures and algorithms. I reckon I can write fairly decent small programs in C, and very basic command line stuff (compiling, moving/deleting/copying files and directories, misdirection, piping etc.)

I have no idea about taking part in huge projects, or using git/DVCS yet. I should finish this EdX course and hopefully it'll cover everything important.

Yeah, I figured it'll take a long time. No point in rushing. I just want a basic foundation, in order to feel comfortable. I want to know how networks generally operate - what TCP/IP means, HTTP, DNS, etc.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
