I guess that my first introduction to programming has through playing with nibbles and gorilla bas on an old 386 of
mine. I liked having the code of those games in front of me, so I could dabble away to my hearts content, changing
things here and there and seeing what happened. It was just something to pass away some time, nothing too serious but it
did help fuel my interest in programming as a profession. I wanted to be able to make a computer do things, and in a
limited way I could. The more I knew, the more I could make it do, the more I wanted to make it do something new, I
guess that it was a kind of infinite loop. For a start my background before that had been in mathematics, so the idea of
variables and equations and other such programming muck didn't phase me too much, thruth be told I quite liked the
challenge.
I decided to do a computers systems course in UL, pretty much because it seemed to have the most software/programming
module of all the other courses I'd looked at. The course centered pretty much on C and C++ programming, which I found
very interesting and useful. It was quite different to the qbasic language I'd been used to but in a way alot more
powerful.It has become my language of choice although I can also write VB and a few others.
