I was a programmer in MS-Dos for 22 years, writing and maintaining an application that weighs trains in-motion. After I was retrenched in 2014, I decided to Modernize my skillets. I shifted my focus away from the MS environment towards Linux. I experimented on several brands of Linux until I settled on Debian. I learned Bash scripting and I found it very limiting. When I watched a video on Python, I recognized so many familiar coding practices that I felt quite at home with it. I`ve only just started learning. I still work in the in-motion industry, but as a part time verification officer. The rest of my time I`m planning on immersing myself into python. ©
