I'm a random programmer/photographer/musician who used to live in the Seattle area soaking up the liquid sunshine (rain). Yes I'm living the dream. My interest in computers and software started when I was 7 because I was using Windows XP and I found that user interface was quite unappealing to me and the functionality of the actual system wasn't what I wanted in a computer. There's an old saying; "Windows can do everything, but not proficiently. Mac OS can do a couple of things, but it does those things really well." But I just had to deal with it like everyone else.

Then when I was eight or nine I started designing my own operating system and that's what really got me into programming. Strangely enough, I never really have trouble understanding different computer languages even if I've never seen them before. Now I'm obviously not a master of all computer languages but I can pic up them rather quickly.

The first language I started to learn was C++. After a while I started learning BASIC, HTML and Python. After that I started learning Visual C++, Visual Basic and Java. I later took a summer course on computer science where I learned Proccessing and figured out rather quickly that it's extremely similar to Java. Now I'm learning C#, PHP and I'm continuing to use Visual Basic.
