I have been studying and practicing code since the 1980s! It began with Atari and Commodore Basic, moved up to IBM Basic, GW Basic, Pascal, and Fortran, then Visual Basic and Visual C++. In college I branched out to Java, Javascript, C# and .NET. I have always been a hobbyist, and since around 2001 I have been coding in C# whenever I find the time. In a previous job, I helped design and code websites and Intranet pages using PHP, MySql, Javascript, HTML, CSS, Perl, and Batch files.
