This post is part one of the series, completing my about page with more than just short paragraphs.
We all life in a time where development isn’t just ‘going on’ it’s running. I was born in a time where the PC wasn’t that popular and not even close to be in each and every house hold. Ok, the time where the first steps have been made, was already over and the personal PC was on it’s way but far away from being popular like nowadays. The first computer I used was the laptop which my dad had that time for work. The use for me was mostly focused on playing little games. The next years pretty much nothing changed about that, till we as a family got our first PC. That was the time I started to play more often—well and maybe that wasn’t as social as I thought. But something changed as I got my first book about programming. The book was called ‘HTML for Kids’ and I slowly started to learn that language—even though, I didn’t stop spending way to much time, playing games.
A few years later—I would say it was something around 2001—I got my first own PC—with Windows 2000 and Windows 98 installed. Things barely changed. Still I played a lot of games and on the side started together with a class mate to learn ‘Visual Basic’. It didn’t took long for me to discover that the programming of programs is not mine and switched the focus back to web-development by participating it more and more. To practice more and learn more, I got involved in the homepage-group at my school which maintained the web-site of the school. But that was not enough for me and I got on teaching my self at home, moving from ‘Visual Basic’ back to HTML and added CSS and PHP to the set of languages I wanted to learn.
Since than the computer is a big part of my daily life—maybe to big?—and I can’t imagine not to have one—which is somehow seems not good!
That’s it. The part about the beginnings is over. Next is my way to web-development. Stay tuned for part two of the series. If you want let me know your feedback or maybe tell your story.
