It started nearly 20 years ago. I was a BBS freak long before I could drive or even had a girl friend. I ran a type of software known at the time as Renegade; questionably a hacked version of another type of BBS software known as WWIV. Looking back I really had no choice. Renegade was free, fast and most importantly, open-source. Turbo Pascal was my flavor at the time, and I spent nearly all of my time with it; writing things from goofy SysOp pagers to label printing systems.
I'm a bit ashamed to say I can barely remember the basic "Pascal" syntax; I hear they call it Delphi or something now.. (lol)..
These days it's mainly all C#,C++/CLR syntax for me. And why not? That’s a powerful combination of rapid development, speed, compatibility, and flexibility. I'm sure most developers would agree that these days C# can't be beat for rapid development. It's powerful and even portable; a rare combination for a high-level language.
Language Experience: C#, C++/CLR, C, VB.NET, SQL, PHP, JavaScript, HTML, ASM
