Programming stuff

I began my programming career in MSX Basic, not an interesting start, but soon I realized that Assembler was much faster and much more interesting.
When I first started on a PC, I again picked up Basic, and Assembler of course. QBasic was never one of my favourites.

At my university they mostly teach (HP-)Pascal, but soon I heard about C, and liked it immediately. I taught myself C and still prefer to write in it. Unfortunately they prefer Delphi at my work, but every time I need to write a difficult routine that needs some standard operational stuff in it, I write down a C-systemcall and then keep searching for hours in the helpfiles to see if there is a Delphi equivalent. Still weird that Borland didn't just include those calls in Delphi, just for the users' convenience. After working about 2 years in Delphi, I grab Delphi before using a (DOS) C-compiler, but that's natural I guess.

In the future I intend to put a small help/tips section on these pages. On some other pages I mention a few very handy sites with tips and programming help, but some explanations or features are lacking there. When I have enough to make useful pages, they'll be mentioned here.

Anyway, these pages contain some information about a few of the languages that I use or think are worth mentioning. In the Projects section you can also find some of the personal projects I sometimes working on.

These pages are best viewed with a webbrowser.
