I wrote my first piece of code, a stick fighting game, in BASIC when I was 8 years old on my old 386 computer. I dabbled a bit more with programming and my dad had bought me a BASIC for Dummies book shortly afterwards. I did pretty much all of the tutorials and examples in the book, and then didn’t code again, mainly because my 8 and 9 year old mind didn’t know what to create with code. When I was about 10 or 11 I started messing around with Visual Basic, it kind of reminds me of the Blocks programming interfaces of today when I look back at it, I made a calculator, was pleased with myself and didn’t code much again apart from basic HTML and PHP for websites, I did some naughty things to websites.
Fast forward a good couple of years and I taught myself Dart within the Flutter framework, I have learnt the basics of Python and C#, and when I mean the basics, I mean the syntax. I have a firm grasp of Object Oriented Programming and once you understand the syntax of the specific language, you can pretty much code in it with little difficulties. I make all sorts of apps and scripts, but right now i’m mainly focused on Mobile Apps. I am also in the process of learning Swift to be able to code native Mac apps.
Coding has always been a passion for me, and now that i’m older I can actually put it to use, because the stupid and silly ideas I have for apps, I actually sit down and bring into the world. I also like the puzzle solving challenge that programming brings.
