Programming is a personal hobby. I have written programs both professionally, and many for personal use in machine language (Motorola 6800), javascript, php, c, python, bash, VBscript, Visual Basic, and Hypertext Applications (HTA), but am no means an expert in any of these. Stackoverflow has been the best resource for learning coding and solving problems. Sometimes you just hit a problem that you can't solve on your own, even after extensive research. The community has such a great membership of people willing to take the time to read, research, and help others by posting solutions to questions.

I like to write games and utilities and control external hardware with either the Arduino/Atmega or Raspberry Pi.

Thanks to everyone that has upvoted my questions. I hope to someday have enough points to be able to post comments.
