Some time back, I had to verify that the calculations in a spreadsheet from 1995 were still correct. They were (b/c of now posterior human intervention 😉.) <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VisualBasic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VisualBasic</a>,...

Andy Jones-McGuireOK then, time for an <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introduction</a> Hi, I'm Andy. I started my technology journey with a ZX Spectrum 48K. I learned <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/BASIC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BASIC</a>. Later I moved up to the Spectrum 128K +2. A few years before starting college, I taught myself <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/VisualBasic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VisualBasic</a> 5 in the bath (I didn't have a PC, just a book). My first computer was a Cyrix 686. At college I learned <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/HTML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HTML</a> (not CSS that wasn't really a thing). Since then I have taught myself <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/PHP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PHP</a> and <a href="https://allthingstech.social/tags/Javascript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Javascript</a> and I have a million courses on Udemy to learn other stuff.

vga256when I was 15 years old, I got a summer job at the first ISP launched in the far north of canada. i worked in the hardware servicing and deployment area, and did tech support with clients over the phonefor weeks I was enamoured with a massive <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/VisualBasic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VisualBasic</a> box that sat on the shelf. it had to weigh 10+ lbs, and was loaded with manuals. no one seemed to care, so I borrowed a few of the manuals and started reading them over lunch. my boss must have noticed, and asked me if I was interested in learning how to program. for the next two months he spent weeknights teaching me how to code after the staff went home. i spent the entire summer of 1995 building a photo library/database tool just for kicks. after that, a visual TCP/IP based chat program called Smalltima Online. 😅that summer gave me the conceptual foundation for building user-driven experiences a decade later. thank you jeff🙏i picked up this chonker a couple of years ago just for the memories. 🥰
