Started learning basic on my dad's Ti/99-4a in the early 80s while in grade school. (had to enter programs from the magazines and debug typos)

Some college but, slow boring process there and it's hard to spend money and time on boring.

Made a job of software development in 2001, company had several Visual-FoxPro projects that I started working on. Completed class on c++, but company never when that direction. Security+ certified. Completed MS C# course.

Now more WPF/C#/Sqlite work.
