Got hooked on computers when I first saw the 'Didaktik M' with 48k of user-available memory. It loaded programs from a magnetic tape (being born in the eighties, I have no memories of punch cards). Didaktik M was basically just a huge keyboard you could connect to your TV and tape recorder. From then on I was fascinated by computers.
I started writing
echo hello worldbatch scripts, and dreamed of creating a windows executable (.exe) (its function did not matter to me then :)), which I later did, at the age of 12 (in Borland's C++ Builder). Then switched to Delphi, stayed with Delphi (all versions from v.4 onwards) for a decade and then turned my attention to Java, PHP, ASP.NET, C++ again, PL/SQL, C# and JavaScript.
Now a JEE developer at a medium size IT solutions and consultancy company in Brighton.
