How I got started in software development?!
Yesterday, Janco tagged me in Michael Eaton's software development meme that's been flying around recently. I read most of the stories around, specially Dave, Matt and Janco stories. So below is my simple story.
How old were you when you started programming?
I was 19 or 20 I don't remember exactly, but it was in 1999. That was when I joined the college, Faculty of Computers and Information Sciences. Before that I never worked on a PC or even had one. So I wasn't a video game player either.
How did you get started in programming?
I joined Computers and Information Sciences because I wished to be a software engineer. So, my early steps were very academic; Lectures, classes and labs where we practice basic of programming.
What was your first language?
C++, that was my first language when I do not use currently!! Shame on me! More...
