Real quick before I go to bed...

Age started
First took a look at java when I was 18. Wrote a GPA calculator (which I submitted to javaboutique.internet.com), but didn't really do any other programming until about 3 months ago.

Current Age
20

Level of experience
beginner


Others
Besides computers and games, I have a passion for chemistry (though, I don't know that much about it yet). I'm going for a CS degree and thinking about double majoring with a chemistry degree. I'd like to get a high paying job when I get out of college so I can fund my own game development company [smile]

ok... time for sleep.
Meh, why not.

Age started: 9 (BASICA on an IBM PS2, gotta love those line numbers)

best regards!
