I've only been coding for about six years on and off. I received my degree in Mathematics, but I am back in the university studying Computer Science which is probably what I should have studied in the first place! Though I don't regret studying higher Math. It was a great experience.

Not sure if I will complete the degree though as it all depends on funds of course. I did take a lot of CS electives while I took Math and had a minor which was one of the main reasons I decided to go back to school.

Anyway, I hope to break into the software industry soon where ever in the US it takes me. I've done a few medium-sized projects with C, C++ and Java. Currently I'm working on developing an IRC client since it covers a lot of basic programming concepts such as GUI, networking, etc.

The courses at the university are pretty basic so far so I find the self-projects teach me quite a bit more. I'm also trying my hand at modding some of the Civilization IV code, and that is a more daunting task due to the sheer size of the code base plus being unfamiliar with it.

Thanks for reading!
