My first PC program was written on MS DOS in Assembler, after I got
Peter Norton's Assembler book where the Edlin and DOS Debugger supported
me in exploring my and code of others. I went from there over
IDE/Debugger like Borland Turbo Debugger over several microcontroller
H8, ST16, 8051, SLE66, SLE88 to my favorite MS Visual Studio 6. Now I
mainly program in C++ and Java, where I prefer C++ since your abilities
to interfere with the system are an easier task, which is still my
favorite, than implementing some natives in Java to enhance the
functionality. I am working since 18 years as a programmer and still
love every day of it. My experience include ever level of programming
from Hardware programming, where you have to take care of nano seconds
in your assembler program over real time operating system programming,
to VM programming, system services, applications, game programming, web
server to high level web script programming.
