Alexander, who kindly suggests you go check out http://www.tuxx-home.at/ , has very good knowledge in nearly all main programming languages (C/C++, Perl, shell scripting, java, PHP, ... and also in programming languages of "the enemy" like C# (.NET), C++ (MFC), VB, VBA, ...). Alexander actually snickers whenever someone asks how much memory is needed for Windows NT to run smoothly.
