Me, A Programmer?

  web-design-team.jpg  I have begun a new adventure. Since college, I have prided myself on being just above average when it comes to sitting in front of a computer and making good things happen. However, I have yet to write a program that a) runs and b) provides opportunities to improve our lives. “Now is the time for all good men to…” Yesterday I registered a domain with a web hosting company (BlueHost). I plan to finally learn scripting, php, Perl, MySQL, etc. We will see how it goes.

Although I now officially own the name that I have chosen for the domain, I am not ready to broadcast it just yet. The site will be in the development stage for awhile. There is a lot for me to learn. I downloaded Dreamweaver 8 from Macromedia and am anxious to dive into it. But, first things first! Must get my feet wet with something simple. No, I’m not talking about writing, “Hello World” and making it run, I’m talking about putting feelers out in cyberspace to discover solutions to pitfalls that others have encountered as they began their journey. Learn from the mistakes of others has served me well in years past.

I actually do not have a specific plan in mind for this website, I’ve no idea what purpose (if any) it will serve. It is just a vehicle I will use to increase my knowledge base. When I lose the desire to learn something, I can stop breathing. There will no longer be a point to it.

Ugh, that was a little too melodramatic or, at the very least, cheesy! Let’s just say I’m excited about this project.

As the learning curve is shortened, you will be the first to know about it.
