 Life
is funny. I fully intended to become a professional photography and yet, here I
am solidly ensconced in the Information Technology world. Call me a geek but I love
to write code.
I wrote my first “real” code way back in 1983. The language was Basic and the system
was a Texas Instruments’ TI-99a with a whopping 16K of RAM. If you wanted to save
your work you recorded, yes recorded it, onto an external audio cassette tape. I
wish I still had that computer. I would encase it in glass and display it proudly
in my home office.
Anyway, over the years I have written code in a lot of different languages including:
Basic, Visual Basic, VB.net, Perl, Java, Visual C++, Cold Fusion, ICL, JavaScript,
VBScript, and… I am sure I am missing one in there somewhere. Currently my favorite
language happens to be C#. C# is just one of those languages that feels “right”
and rolls off of the finger tips as you type.
Although I hadn’t planned on being in the software development business when I was
growing up, I feel fortunate to be where I am today. It turns out that I actually
enjoy working building applications; so much so that I even elect to spend some
of my free time writing code for things like this web site.
