I am technically-oriented, so it isn't unusual that I have an interest in many aspects of computer technology. I wrote my first lines of computer programming so long ago that I can't remember whether it was the '70s or the '80s; I was also just a child. I've attended several colleges over the last several decades, focusing on technological fields, and every time I start a new program, I have to take a new programming class. Over the last 30 years or so, I've programmed in BASIC, Logo, x86 Assembly, COBOL, DOS Batch, C, Pascal, C++, MIPS Assembly and Java, among other languages, quasi-languages and application languages (Wordperfect, Word, Excel, etc.). I've never gone beyond the second-semester level, and I've experienced considerable lapses of time between use of any language, so my skills are rusty. I am most familiar with the C-derivative languages, as that is where I have spent several years of effort over the last 25 years.
