I started programming when I was in 7th grade on an Apple 2gs. I started using c and didn't like it very much. I then started using Basic. When I was a Sophmore in high school I took a QBasic class to help me understand the Basic language that I started using in 7th grade. I quickly found out that C/C++ was the way to go. The Basic language in general was just to simple for my needs. Now its the year 2000 and I am 23 and I have been using C/C++ ever since sophmore year in high school. I taught myself during the summer after the QBasic class. I further moved on to college where I graduated with a Double Major in Computer Science and Computer Engineering with a minor in Advanced Math.
