Oh, wow. Mmm... I may be getting over my head on this, but what better way to learn!

My biggest concern is portability between linux and windows, will I be able to transfer my raw data and code between both systems with out much worry? Actually, let's leave that for now. Perhaps that will be something I should ask later after I have a working project. I'm sure ya'll will have much advice on this once I have something to show for ya'lls help. =+}

Er... What is API? I see it referenced all the time but don't know what it stands for. =+\
