Hi Jamey - welcome to DC and good luck with those exams! I went to two uni's in the UK (and one in Canada) - make the most of the next few years - no matter where you go, you only get out of the experience what you put into it... ;)
jamiemac2005:
Haha thanks for the luck =] I'm really looking forward to uni, all dependant on the grades though.
sunlitlaz:
Greetings all, I am Laz. I live in the US, in the SouthWest part of Virginia. I am a CTO for my day job, where I worked my way up from a UNIX and Storage sysadmin. I have been working with computers and related stuff for over 20 years and I love it all.
As for software development, I am a self taught programmer and scripter. People tell me I am sick in the head because I code for fun. I can spend a day working on a code project and have a ball. Primarily, I am a Visual Basic guy for Windows software, but I have dabbled with lots of other languages too, including some C++ when I worked on Half-Life mods a while back. I also do loads of web development and love PHP for that, plus lots of PERL and Bash/shell for UNIX/Linux scripting. I enjoy working with databases as well, and use MySQL, MS SQL and SQLite quite a bit.
I like what I see here at DC, and I am very happy to be a member here. I have been writing and giving away little apps and utilities for years, and I love what everyone is doing here. I look forward to getting to know folks here and tinkering on some good software!
Thanks :Thmbsup:
