Hello, I would like to take this time to introduce myself to the community, because I have been told that the community is\u00a0interested. Unlike many programmers I know, I do not have a Job programming. This would mostly be because I am too young to have a job. At the time of this writing I am about a month over 14. I know it’s fairly young, and I am a very\u00a0inexperienced\u00a0programmer compared to many people I know, but I would say that I have a fair amount of capability. I just might not do something the standard way because I didn’t know there was a standard.<\/p>\n
As for my actual programming\u00a0experience, I started when I was 12 with an\u00a0interest\u00a0in computers,\u00a0specifically\u00a0programming. I went to my local library and checked out a book on python with pygame. A while later, my uncle bought me a book on Java, (Headfirst Java\u00a0specifically) and that’s where I learned my preferred language. Using\u00a0knowledge\u00a0from the\u00a0fundamentals\u00a0in the two language, I have learned many other scripting languages. Right now, I am learning C++ mostly for my High School’s Robotics team, but also because I know its still the industry standard for anything that needs high performance. (Everything)<\/p>\n
As for non-programming related\u00a0interests\u00a0of mine, I play the Euphonium, or Baritone. If you don’t know what it is, you can look it up. Here<\/a> is a guy who is really good, playing it. That’s not me though. I wish! I also enjoy listening to dubstep, and Skrillex is my favorite artist right now, with deadmau5 and DaftPunk behind him. My favorite<\/p>\n I can’t wait for the Ludum Dare compo, this is my first one if you didn’t know.<\/p>\n ~geekygenius<\/p>","time":"April 12th, 2012 8:24 pm","title":"Hello World!"}
