I've been programming for a number of years. Before that, I did digital and analog design.
Op amps, TTL and CMOS. I've done vacuum tube design as well.
I'm retired now, so I just tinker with designing guitar pedals.
I've programmed in C,C++, C# and Pascal. But all of that was done on DOS / Windows.
I've been tinkering with Lazarus /FPC (I really like what they're doing over there) The same with TDragons' GCC and Code::blocks
I thought I'd cut my teeth on a MIDI keytar design. So I went and bought a few PIC chips (18F452,24FV32KA302)
I have many questions, so I figure I'll just read, lurk and learn for now.
