I've enjoyed programming for over 15 years, beginning with the commodore 64. That was an interesting time, since creating a program involved using a tool named HESMON to write hex OPCODEs directly into memory. That was the days of PEEKS, POKES, and SYS. From there, I moved to the Amiga, and eventually to the 8088. Perhaps, I should say ‘We’, since my brother and I share the same enthusiasm and worked together for a number years.
As with many others, my initial interests in programming was sparked by games. However, as time progressed, it was more lucrative to put gaming on the shelf, and move into the business world. This has led me to work with CGI, Javascript, Asp, and now the Dot Net technologies. I’ve been fortunate to work with great people creating CE, Win32 and Web applications. With that said, many of the techniques learned early on in gaming can still be useful and applied even today.
