I have been programming in one form or another since I was 13 and bought my first Commadore 64. I started programming in Basic, then QBasic, then I moved on to Visual Basic and Visual Basic-net,and then HTML, ASPX, ASP- NET,C#, and Xaml. I am completely self taught through books and the school of hard knocks mostly, and don't forget internet courses. I am always learning new things and have learned that with enough patients If I don't know something I can find it somewhere.
