etc.

If you record everything on audio tape or talk only using phone and record it. Or you use gtalk only then legal bodies might take it seriously. But no one is going to take notes written by you seriously.

Is it legal to record phone conversation without other persons consent? I don't k now.

I was wondering if marketing people use this.

Can you have man/help page? Because a lot many guys were confused at first. Nice job.

There is EMACS TOO!!! This is insane. I am going mad with happiness. I really really have tears in my eyes.

Also add MathJAX so that latex works. Good job!

If you are using Windows: 1. Download Visual Studio Express Edition 2. Google for C# tutorials for beginners 3. Follow it.

If you are using Linux: 1. Google for Python tutorial for beginners 2. Follow it.

Learn some web programming by following tutorials on w3schools. You should be able to create simple static web page and host it on localhost.

Why C# and Python? Well both are widely used and are easy to grasp.

Once you grasp basic concepts like 1. if...else.. 2. for 3. while 4. case 5. What are libraries? 7. What is difference between compilation and interpretation? 8. What is the difference between editor, IDE and compiler?

the force will guide you.

And if at any point you get stuck you can always ask question at StackOverflow.com

Then, you can come back and "Ask HN" how do I become better programmer?

Best of luck!
