I`ve programmed in one language or another, to one degrees of understanding or another since I was 5, when I typed in code from the TI-BASIC manual for my Mom`s TI-99/4A. I didn`t begin to understand much of what I was doing until I was 8 and started using GW-BASIC and PC-BASIC on my Mom`s Kaypro XT. By the time I was in high school, I had dabbled in HyperCard, but mostly used VB 4.0+. Though I had toyed with C++ in Borland C++ 4.0 in highschool, I didn`t really use or understand it much until college, where the bastard C, C18 for PIC microcontrollers was taught. It was in college for my Bachelors in Electronics Engineering that I realized I could probably program in any language. (Well I`m not so good in assmebler, and any compplex ladder-logic befuddles me) As Steve Jobs (RIP) said in a keynote If the hardware of our devices is their body, their software is their soul. Thus I hope to combine my EE degree with my programming experience to make some cool stuff, and make some money along the way. I`m current working on a wheeled robot that can follow body heat, avoid obstacles and feed itself when it`s hungry, a flying orb copter based on a MultiWiiCopter, and assistive technology for the blind. Oh yeah, I`m legally blind also. In case you aren`t to familliar with legal types, this doesn`t mean I can`t see. I just see poorly compared to people with 20/20.
