I have been coding since 4th grade in elementary school back in 1981. I concentrate mainly on Microsoft technologies from the old MSDOS/MSBASIC to coding in VC++ then Visual Basic and now .Net. I try to stay on top of the trends coming from Microsoft such as the Millennium Project, Windows DNA, and my new favorite Windows clustering servers.
I have dabbled in making games in my initial VC++ days, but spent most of the past 10 years working on business apps in VB, C++, and the past 7 years in C#.
I eventually hope to get my own company supporting me so I can concentrate on my real dream of creating clusters of automated robots for use in various hazardous industries.

Joe is one of those software engineers with a film degree. His first paid programming job (you think film is a good way to make a living?) was writing games for Apple II's using 6502 assembly. He soon moved to 80x86 assembly, C, C++ (for a long time), C# and then back to C++ with occasional dabbling in C#, Python and other vile languages.
He first wrote software for Windows 3.0 in 1990. Save for some work in Linux, DOS and a mercifully brief foray into OS/2, he has concentrated on designing and writing software for all versions and types of Windows except RT.

Aside from dabbling in BASIC on his old Atari 1040ST years ago, Leslie's programming experience didn't really begin until he discovered the Internet in the late 90s. There he found a treasure trove of information about two of his favorite interests: MIDI and sound synthesis.
After spending a good deal of time calculating formulas he found on the Internet for creating new sounds by hand, he decided that an easier way would be to program the computer to do the work for him. This led him to learn C. He discovered that beyond using programming as a tool for synthesizing sound, he loved programming in and of itself.
Eventually he taught himself C++ and C#, and along the way he immersed himself in the ideas of object oriented programming. Like many of us, he gotten bitten by the design patterns bug and a copy of GOF is never far from his hands.
Now his primary interest is in creating a complete MIDI toolkit using the C# language. He hopes to create something that will become an indispensable tool for those wanting to write MIDI applications for the .NET framework.
Besides programming, his other interests are photography and playing his Les Paul guitars.

I am a .NET architect/developer based in London working mostly on financial trading systems. My love of computers started at an early age with BASIC on a 3KB VIC20 and progressed onto a 32KB BBC Micro using BASIC and 6502 assembly language. From there I moved on to the blisteringly fast Acorn Archimedes using BASIC and ARM assembly.
I started developing with C++ since 1990, where it was introduced to me in my first year studying for a Computer Science degree at the University of Nottingham. I started professionally with Visual C++ version 1.51 in 1993.
I moved over to C# and .NET in early 2004 after a long period of denial that anything could improve upon C++.
Recently I did a bit of work in my old language of C++ and I now realise that frankly, it's a total pain in the arse.

Some of the bigger questions:
1. What is the meaning of my life?
To satisfy the purpose of your creator(s). (Meaning must derive from purpose. Those who create you, give you meaning.)
2. Who is my creator?
Ultimately, God is your creator. God designed and created the universe and everything in it. You and others in your life can also be a part of your creation, overriding or furthering God's purpose.
3. What is God's purpose for me?
To love and be loved by your creator and others and to enjoy the life you've been given.
This can be distinguished two ways.
a. Use your built in common sense (morality/feelings)
b. Use the creator's handbook. Fortunately our creator did not abandon us. He is with us now and even lived and died as one of us. Check out his biography in "The Bible"
Note on free-will vs. predetermination:
God exists outside the constraints of time. He exists at every point in time simultaneously and knew of your birth and every decision you will/have made. But this does not mean God predetermined any of it. Pre and post are time related concepts that do not apply to God. God always has been and always will be. He determines our universe to exist, gives it the parameters of natural law, and allows us to make our own way through it (free-will). Note that these are all present tense, it would be more appropriate to use past, present, and future tense combined. God's purpose is for us to love him and one another. But a prerequisite of love is the free-will to love. So even though God wants us to love him/others, he can not ensure it. He can, however, help us if we allow him to. A miracle is God modifying natural parameters in response to human will.
