Software Developer (Senior) Retired
United States United States
I am currently retired, but spent the last 40 years of my career writing software for MS-DOS and Windows (starting with Windows 1.0).

My first experience with software was writing assembly code for the Motorola 6800.

During the S100 bus days, I wrote 8080 assembly and Basic.

With the introduction of the IBM PC I wrote in Borland Pascal for MS-DOS.

When Microsoft introduced Windows 1.0 I started writing in C code.

For the majority of my career, I did development in C++ starting with Visual C++ 1.0.

Some of my development was in .NET, but it never appealed to me like C++.
