I just wanted to know how computers worked when I was fairly young. Like, I'd open a web browser and look at the homepage, and think "But how does the computer know how to draw all this stuff?" As in, how do you take an image of something from real life, and over the internet put that image on somebody's screen for them to see? Or how does it know what to do when I click this icon and run a program?
I found out about a popular programming language called C++, asked my parents to buy me a book on it while we were at the book store. Learned a lot, moved on to other languages for other things I wanted to do. It's still a fun hobby, but I never opted to make a career out of it.
This sounds similar in spirit to me, but I did make a career out of it. If you don't mind me asking, what is your career? You can also email me; see "Contact" at http://www.olowe.co
I'm a Loss Prevention Manager.
Thanks for sharing.
