With over thirty years of experience...
I wrote my first program in BASIC and have been learning new languages as soon as they were developed.
I freelance to keep my hand in the programming side of things now that I have worked my way up to management.
Certain projects I will not put offers on if they would violate non-compete clauses in my contract.
I like C, C++, Perl, and BASH, but have grown to love Python.
