Other languages and more information about my selected languages.
|
| I also know a little Delphi (enough to make a calculator for example)... a little Action Script, a little Java, and a little C/C++. I am extending my knowledge of Java and C++ over time bit by bit. |

Just a little bit about yourself?
I'm 5 foot 11, brown hair, blue eyes. Been with my girlfriend for years now. At the time of writing this i own a company called Vantage Businesses Limited with 3 other directors (all equal share) where we have two trading arms, Vantage Windows & Vantage Web Studios.
How did you get interested in coding?
I was scared of getting a virus on my computer when i got the internet. Then i found out how they worked and then purchased a book on VB6 and started learning to program my own programs. My first proper application was actually a game called "falling blocks" (you can find it on my profile).
What do you least enjoy about coding?
Repetitive boring tasks such as form validation, uploading files, etc.
What do you enjoy most about coding?
The freedom it gives me on a computer and how challenging some things can be.
Do you write code as a hobby, or because you have to for work?
Both!
How did you learn how to write code?
Books, online articles, manuals, forums, and anything else i can get my hands (or eyes) on.
Do you have a speciality in a specific area of coding, if so please explain?
I quite enjoy usability of websites.
