This blog is a companion site to my official project site at ugotsta.com (currently down). I love tech-related stuff and this blog provides a way for me to track (or remember) and post about tech stuff that I find interesting. For those interested, you’ll find more about me through my Gravatar profile and through the sites referenced there.
Code background
I grew up with computers, my first programming experience being with an old Synclair Spectrum (my Dad still has the old mainboard for it). My Dad upgraded to a Commodore Vic 20 then later to a PC (pretty sure it was an 8086). That being said, I’ve got a lot of background with computing technologies and have studied and used various programming langues. The following is a list of my progression with those languages and what I consider to be my current level of understanding with each:
- ░▓▓▓▓ Basic
- ░▓▓▓▓ QuickBasic (QBasic)
- ░▓▓▓▓ Visual Basic
- ░░▓▓▓ DOS Batch files
- ░░░░▓ Assembly
- ░░░░▓ C
- ░░░▓▓ C++
- ░▓▓▓▓ HTML/CSS
- ░░░▓▓ JavaScript
- ░░▓▓▓ PHP
- ░░░▓▓ Python
- ░░░▓▓ Bash
I’m looking to study Haskell and Google’s GO as well. Really, I’m hoping for a more universal language that does everything! Knowing how we humans are though, I’ll just keep the hope in the back of my mind. 🙂
