Re: Want to become a linux developer
I suggest that your start by learning the name of the language used for the kernel... That would be a good start. If you don't even know this, don't think about going further

Re: Want to become a linux developer
The obvious suggestion is to learn C/C++ that the linux kernel is written in.
However... If you learn Perl and Ruby there is a whole lot of services and support tools that are written in either of them and that is probably an easier start of your "career" as a Linux developer.

Re: Want to become a linux developer
There are so many places you can start to chip in that it's hard to give advice on where to start.
With c and python you can never go wrong.
Learn some basic coding and then download the source of the software you use/like the most and play around with the code.
When you're feeling bold enough you start looking for some of the more easy bugs to fix.
Some projects suggest good beginner jobs like libreoffice

Or Gnome
https://live.gnome.org/GnomeLove
...Mate?

Good luck!
ps. You don't need to hack the kernel to contribute to linux.
