I've been programming for years.  I started way back messing around with basic.  I'd take all the games I came across, and change things, one line at a time, until the games did things really cool (usually just changing colors and the like, but still!).

Now I am working for an engineering firm doing software design, mainly in ASP.NET, and C#, with some SQL thrown in for good measure.

I have always loved a challenge and learning something new, and I can think of no better way than participating in the discussions that EE has to offer!
