  • [Programming section] Introduce yourself

I'm 23 , I work as a web developer at cre8mania, just graduated and this is my first job as a full time php web developer. I have been here for 1 month.

I worked before for 1 month in AlienNative and did an internship at NetDesign plus.

I used to work on Gedit now i moved to Eclipse.

Os: ubuntu/crunchbang
I Guess im the only one that's not actually working as a programmer :)

I started 18 yrs ago, Batch scripting. the went to VBDos, then if i remember correctly, VB , C, Assembly.

Programmed things from small bat scripts, to drivers, PIC programs, Civil Analysis, games, sploits, fuzzers, etc ....
editors: Edit / GEdit / MSVS
OS: Win / Gentoo


I know work as a civil engineer :D

I'm still a beginner in C and C++ since I have begun learning a few months ago. I aim at becoming a game developer in the future. I'm only 17 and I'm in my last year of school. Code::Blocks is the IDE used and Ubuntu the operating system. My objective is to establish a video game industry here in Lebanon since there aren't any (right?). My goal may seem unrealistic, but you won't know till you try right?

December 83 is my birthdate, and then my first attempt at something related to programming was when I was 15-16 :)
I do feel 44.
Gee thanks, you just made me feel old.
I started programming a couple of years before launching LebGeeks (summer of 2004).
I am mainly into web application development and my language of choice is Ruby.
Prior to that, I used PHP for a while but my foray into Rails put my PHP-fu into an indefinite hiatus.

Last summer, I dabbled with R (mainly used for statistical computing) while doing a semester at UC Berkeley.
Last year, I dabbled with mobile development through Appcelerator Titanium.

My speciality is front-end development, and I put a strong emphasis on user experience and usability.
I am currently working for Opera on a stand-alone project using Ruby and JavaScript.

I would like to get into TDD, but still haven't found the opportunity to do it!

Editor of choice: Textmate
Version control: git
- Jan. 90.
- BS in Computer Science (2.5 years).

- Discovered my passion towards computers/programming since I got my hands on Logo at the age of 13-14.

- I was interested in .Net development, mainly C#. Wrote some very neat programs and utilities to (ab)use.
- Studied Information Security (university courses and CEH tutorials) and dived into it. Fulfilled my curiosity, and left.

- Participated in the exchange students program between my home university and Oklahoma University, USA where I learned 75% of what i currently know.
- Studied at OU Embedded Systems, Human Computer Interaction, Formal Languages and Automata and Astronomy.

I learned in the States the following:
- Hardware Programming (I also created a Robot *Kicks Jad In The Ass*),
- Mobile Development (iPhone Dev. and recently Android),
- Behavioral sciences (Mainly psychology and cognitive science).
- And the mighty Astronomy course.

- Addicted to anything with 50+ shortcuts. Otherwise, i don't bother even taking a look.

- Currently working as a UX Developer (ZeRaw's Co-Worker), and as he mentioned, the company focuses on nice visuals and deliverables - So that's a hell lot of work.
xterm wroteHi,

I'm a phony and here's my story.
Clicks the first link. Ok. Situation under Control.
Clicked the second link. Assessed the situation. Re-Assessed the situation. Prepared a fairly large cup of coffee. Started reading.

...
Didn't finish yet.
P.S: First to finish wins an iPad 2 :P
BS in Computer Science from UL - Fanar
Moving to Bordeaux (France) next week for masters in image & sound processing (research type of master)
Will finish this week my internship @ SES - sabis educational services.

got interested in computers through video game as im a video game addict. Decided to get into CS cause i wanted to fix some irritating bug in my favorite game.
Learned C++ and pascal in school but never practiced them and i really started sitting long ours looking at a code last year.
I am interested in messing with low level (no abstraction) programing, and anything that needs experiments and not business oriented (stock management, ..... ).
I rather prefer building a framework or a new library than making an application unless that application is a game.
I hope to start coding the games i have on my notebook, my first attempt was a failure :P

That was a very interesting read. I did not think Henselman would feel that way. I related SO MUCH to that feeling. Also, the quote "I think the more you know, the more you realize just how much you don't know." I am not sure how much of a cliche it is, but at some point I had something similar to that as a signature.

Also, xterm, reading about how you got into programming and how young many of the guys here were when they started, makes me wonder... since I only owned a computer when I was 18. I wonder how it could have been if I had started as early as you guys, no point of that now though ;)

Think of it this way, you're having more fun now than you would've, if you started earlier than 18.

If I were to do it all over again.

1) I wouldn't touch a computer prior to 18
2) I wouldn't have majored in CSC
3) I wouldn't have made SE my career.

But then again, I wouldn't have been here :-)
