Are you looking for a developer job or unix sys admin?

For dev I would read this: http://www.andrewmunn.com/2011/01/how-to-land-an-internship-...

I know it says intern but i promise if you get to know that stuff well enough it would get you full time as well.

Also get "Cracking the Coding Interview" and "Programming Interviews Exposed"

Those give pretty good overviews about what is base level knowledge to get you up to speed for a developer role.

Then things would get domain specific from there

Others would have to chime in for sys admin

@wh-uws I meant that I have tried my hands at coding but I succumb to it and give up feeling I cannot grab the concepts and the system admin stuff I have no issues with but although i could take system admin as a focus I feel with being an admin I cannot create something of my own and thats what keeps me going back to learning code. I keep switching languages and I believe that is what is screwing the efforts up.

Thank you for the link. Looks like a good read.
