Education
Self Taught
n/a
Took my first programming class when I was 8 years old. By high school, I was teaching the teachers the programming classes. When it was time for college, they were still teaching cobol and fortran and were behind the times. I learn new things EVERY day. IT is not only my work, it's my hobby. I take numerous online courses every month in programming, and follow dozens of websites and trends to stay up-to-date.
