techie Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 If only I had known how much fun coding was when I was in school... I would have changed my major. I have sort of stumbled into programming. 4 years ago, my job needed someone to log all of the jobs we had ever done (construction) into a spread sheet. So, I learned how to use excel. Next, my boss had an excel workbook so huge, that if he tried to add a new worksheet, it would crash. So, I learned to use Access. The off the shelf program didn't quite do it for me, so I bought a book on VBA dedicated to Access. That is when it got good to me. I didn't really know what I was doing, but I had a lot of fun turning that enormous workbook into a database. Fast forward a little. Our "marketing" person hired someone who hired her brother to create our website. It took way too long, and was way too expensive. So... I borrowed a book on HTML from our local public library. Then I needed a book on CSS. Then I needed a book on Javascript. Now I'm half way through a book on PHP... which reminds me, I need to renew the checkout on it. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm really enjoying it. I look forward to asking questions that will show my ignorance, and look forward to learning from you who have gone before. Thanks.
