Start with both TCP/IP (Illustrated) and UNIX/Linux (Adminsitration) reading material. Then get
an
entry-level position somewhere, further specialize into field you like (NAS, *SQL, VoIP, etc.),
and look at certificates (RHEL, CCNA, etc.) Bottom two links are books, top two are more
advice.

Designing an engine is like reinventing the wheel. Instead learn a language and engine like
C++ (NaCL), C# (Unity), Java (jMonkey) Javascript (Unreal, GameJs), Python (Pygame), or
Lua (Love2D, Source). In the rare case you do want to design a game engine then do this:
C# & XNA (good), C++ and SDL or Orge (better), or C++ with custom DX/OGL wrapper with
SMFL or SDL for windowing (best). Know your math for graphics, physics, and AI programming.

Python is used more outside of servers than Ruby, but both are equally fun and good.
C# is simple, modern, and fast. While I can't say the same for Java, both are often used.
C for embedded systems, C++ for large libraries, and Obj-C for iOS and OS X platforms.

GCC/G++/MinGW
LLVM w/ Clang
http://network-theory.co.uk/docs/gccintro

LLVM w/ Clang has performance benefits, but at the cost of time optimizing code for it.

MySQL is slow, bloated, licensed, and crippled by Oracle; but is and will continue to be used.
Oracle SQL is essentially MySQL with a higher license price and the lack of being crippled.
PostgreSQL is fully enterprise featured, ACID compliant, and ports easily to MySQL.
SQLite is extremely fast for read-heavy operations like a CMS but not real-time data.

CodeLite (general) & Qt Creator (GUIs) for C and C++. Superior to any other for this.
Dreamweaver (GUIs) for AJAX, PHP, etc. Bloated, expensive, and obsolete to a CMS.
Geany (general) for ASM, AJAX, C, C++, C#, Java, Lua, LaTeX, Perl, PHP, etc.
Eclipse (general) & Netbeans (GUIs) for Java, AJAX (Aptana), Python (PyDev), Perl (EPIC), and
etc.

VS Express (general, GUIs) for C++, C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET. Bloated but good for all of them.

Cocoa.

Autotools

FogBugz and Jira are non-free ($$ per month), server-side hosted (cloud), but are overall
eaisest to set-up and use. Free versions exist for students, start-ups, and open source projects.
Redmine has an elegant and effective web interface suited for Ruby and Ruby on Rails devs.
Trac's configurability (can be a bad thing) and stability makes it the defacto PM of choice.

Power
"From Bash to Zsh," Kiddle, Peek, Stephenson "Windows Powershell In Action," Payette
http://linuxcommand.org
http://youtube.com/watch?v=bEOq-S3veiA
Dash is for speeding up (Linux) boot scripts w/o Bash (the standard across most *nix)
Tcsh (C Shell) is bad even according to Keninghan. Zsh is best shell; themable and highly
extensible. Powershell for those familiar with C# and .NET (i.e. Windows).

"TextMate: Power Editing for the Mac," E. Gray http://safe.mn/5elm
Emacs and Vim are highly extensible, customizable, and have steep learning curves.
Instead start with text editors like Gedit, Nano, Notepad++, Textmate, or Sublime Text 2.

Notes

http://webcast.berkeley.edu

Computer Science
Theory of computation. First of all, Computer Science is not programming, it is the theory of
computation! You learn algorithms and logic through mathematics, because as programming
languages change the theory of computation does not. You will learn things like compilers, data
structures, discrete mathematics, finite automata, networks, operating systems, security, and
etc.
Computer Engineering
Embedded systems. You are as much of an engineer as a Computer Science student is a
scientist. Moderate amounts of hardware theory, software theory, and how they operate
together makes this the most practical engineering degree. You'll learn about things like radio
waves (i.e. routers), embedded systems (i.e. elevators, ovens), automation (i.e. robotics), etc.
Electrical Engineering
Theory of energy. One of the best, hardest, and theoretical of all fields out there. Essentially
you learn about how electricity affects material (i.e. silicon, copper, other conductive elements)
and how to control that energy into something that "just werkz." 5 years of experience and
baccalaureate is standard in the industry, graduate school is unnecessary until then.
Information Systems
Software consultancy. If you prefer the practice over theory and business over development,
but still enjoy both, then Information Systems is for you. Essentially you are groomed for
management who's stuck in a basement IT department with two nerds and completely no idea
what you are doing. Some programming and informatics, but mostly business management.
Information Technology
Informatics (i.e. database theory, architecture, patterns, logic) and software engineering
(programming) into one. Storing, serving, and protecting company data is usually what you'll
do. Outsourcing, even at the cost of security and reliability, is a common practice. Security
specialization and business savy make businesses feel at ease and you more marketable.
Mathematics
Lazy genius. Someone who can make sense of math in ways others cannot, those who think
identities are a joke, and breezes through school so much that education becomes a joke. Dip
into statistics to become actuaries, computer science for cryptography, teaching to consult
spoiled middle/high school brats, and so-on depending on what you like.
Mechanical Engineering
Broad discipline. Depending on the subset of ME, you could be doing something completely
different than another ME. Mechatronics (i.e. robotics, electronics), aerospace (i.e.
aerodynamics, satellites), thermal (i.e. turbine, refrigeration), and buildings (i.e. ventilation,
plumbing) are some good examples. Creativity and strong mathematics is an absolute must.
Statistics
Mathematicians with personality. Playing with math so that it does silly things, Staticians are
wizards of data analysis and manipulation. Essentially a cross between Accounting and
Mathematics, you'll encounter probability, numerical linear algebra, and encouraged to learn R
programming. Most jobs are in education and insurance (in particular healthcare.)
