Work on Goal 4

On Dr. Piercy's suggestion I have been researching what languages I would need to know to program for Linux. From the research I have read it seems that the majority of the different Linux kernels are written in some variant of C or a scripting language such as Python, Perl, or Ruby. I currently do not know any of these languages to satisfy the programming and customization goal established at the outset of the course. I have found a couple of tutorials and resources that would allow me to possibly begin programming if I learn some basics of C. Also my text Linux for Dummies also offers some small scale coding sections based on what I have read. I will post more when I determine what more is required.
