Started programming when I was 10. Never made it my profession but always programmed, mostly with Excel VBA for finance, and for some simple front-end web design in the early 2000's (ie. no jquery back then, what a pain it was with DHTML). One day, I get the idea of outsourcing the web development of my start-up: total cacacacacacacafukkkk! So: from VBA to C# .NET and Javascript in 5,000 pages of programming books, and lots of Stackoverflow! I think asking dumb questions is a smart way to learn. And as an internet entrepreneur, I've learned that what matters most is not knowing how to program but knowing what to program: discover the goyaPhone at www.goyaphone.eu
