BUt when i learn how to do this i like to know what the commands stand for. So has anyone got an command list resources and what the command stands for

For the commands: http://www.linuxcommand.org/

I recommend learning a language like Python. Not only is it easier, it is more powerful and cross platform. (see sig)

Python, Perl, and C. My wiki has references for all of those. I recommend Python first.

I agree but also add C++ and also PHP if you do web development
