I saw Hackers in the movie theater when I was 13. I left that theater and decided I wanted to be a hacker. So obviously, the first thing I did was grab my dad`s copy of Learn Visual Basic 3.0 in 21 days and tear through it in about 3. Since then I`ve been programming in constantly changing environments. Never doing one thing long enough to master and memorize, which is why StackOverflow is my savior. I know what I want to know, and SO nearly always has the specific answer I`m looking for. Without it I`m not sure I`d be able to be a programmer, and if I was, I`d be a hell of a lot slower. ©
