What's all about this "Nerd" stuff anyways. My interest in computer programming dates back to the early 1980s. I remember using MS-DOS to write my first program in BASIC. I’m mentioning this because I find it fascinating that we have come from this: 5 PRINT "HELLO WORLD" 10 END to this: // My First C++ Program include int main() { std::cout << "Hello World!"; return 0; } to this: print("Hello, World!") So of course when I went to college and heard about HTML I had to learn more about it. You could use this language to put things on the Internet where everyone could see it? I said: 'Sign me up!'. That passion for learning about computers and programming and creating webpages all those years ago helped me get to where I am today in my professional career. Without that introduction to BASIC I never would have been introduced to other programming languages like Python, Visual Basic, Perl, PHP, Ruby, C#, and Java.…
