I am a hobby programmer.
Although I have no job directly related to programming, I have always been interested in programming.
Starting with experience with the first .286 IBM machine in my fathers company and grown up with stories of my mother working with Punched Cards in the late 60's I was always aware of programming present for all of us in most circumstances.
I self educated in Turbo Pascal, C, C++, VBA, tried my best to work with an undocumented project in the dead language VO and now focus on PHP (including JS, CSS, HTML and frameworks)
