Greetings - first of all - from Germany!
I get started watching Handmadehero since some weeks - 4 or 5 - and I love it. I am coding as a job (C, PHP, PL/SQL and other stuff) and for fun. I think you can everytime learn something more. I started as I were 10 years old with a Schneider CPC 464 - you know that "machine" in the US?! ;) Start learning coding on Basic and make first steps in CP/M. After that all the time the only thing I were really interested in is coding - how things work. So I start learning C and some C++ on Windows with OpenGl.
As a job I am a developer for Laboratory Information Systems on Oracle Base. For me it is amazing how many things I already know when I watch the tutorials from HMH and the same time learn so much. It is amazing - and absolutely fun. And I like it when Casey speak about old times - better OS like Linux and Unix, because I like to use them for private most ;)
...so enough for now. Greetings to you all and have a nice holiday time and a good "slip into the new year" as we use to say in Germany!! :)
