What can you code? What languages you know? Where did you learn and how? Is there anyone who is a beginner or simply has considered it?

I was a programmer for a living. Made loan origination software for banks. Gave it all up to look after my mother full time. I'd go back if I could, but I'm nine years removed from that job and as with all tech jobs, time leaves you behind. So I doubt I'll ever get back in there. I was a Java developer (we also used Spring and Velocity and built on the Bootstrap framework), and it was a perfectly fine job. Paid amazingly well compared to now...but...c'est la vie.

I studied C ++, VB.net, C # .net and Java at a community college. I got good grades in all of them except for C ++ which was only a C. It was in the 2000s. In fact, I think VB.net isn't even used anymore.

I wanted to like it, took a few classes as I knew programming paid a lot, but I couldn't wrap my head around coding. So I just stick to networking.

It takes a while to "get it", but some don't want to wait and I understand.Demon_skeith wrote: ↑November 2nd, 2025, 8:26 pm I wanted to like it, took a few classes as I knew programming paid a lot, but I couldn't wrap my head around coding. So I just stick to networking.
