Do you have IT education ?
I was just wondering..
Who has actually an education in IT, or electronics ?
Or were you self-taught, before you got any ? |

No education here beyond primary school. I learned to code on the 64, and currently work as a developer because of it. |

Had to take a year to get a diploma in graphic design... but really I never should have as it were a walkover year in a way... but on the other hand I really got a good diploma, the best the scool had ever given out to a student ;-) |

Self taught electronics & programming since childhood (1st language ever learnt: 6502 assembly. Basic came 2nd).
Used to work in home electronics repair but decided to make my computer hobby a profession 9 years ago (better $$).
Working as an embedded systems programmer (multimedia cellphones) most of the time, getting chances to program in assembly on various RISC CPUs, which is kinda fun (not like C64 fun though).
Trying to finish my computer-science degree in night-school for some time now... going very very slowly :)
Working in this field is rewarding, but the hours are way too long.
I want my life back!! (and time to finish a damn demo)

1996-7: Self-taught BASIC on Commodore 64 and BBC Micro model B.
1998-: Self-taught and understood hex and binary through the help of programming manuals and C64 crunchers/packers/music relocators ;). Self-taught assembler (6510) about the same time.
2003: Got a PC and self-taught C/C++ and 8086 asm, about age 17 onwards.
2003-06: Completed a National Diploma in I.T at college.
2006-09: Graduated with an honours degree in Software Engineering... took a small interest in electronics during that time. (made assembler programs for PIC micro-controllers)
Today: Still looking for full-time work... |

Started with BASIC. Used alot of poke and peek instead of variables I recall. Only did little asm in AR6 mon first.
Started PowerBasic and TurboPascal and x86 asm on PC about the same time as 6502 asm. At some time decided against too much x86 :)
Nowadays lots of C, much less Python and some tiny x86 and 6502 of course. Except 6502 also for work. Diploma in physics/astrophysics. Working on Phd there. No prof. IT education (just listened to some lectures to avoid QM ;)
Luckyly I make modern PC look like slow slugs with my matter simulations ;-) so C64 always makes me think: hey, that was fast! |

I have much experience as a computer technician, music producer and IT consultant. I'm qualified enough but I don't have that nice 'laminated piece of paper' to tell me that I've spent thounds of dollars for what i've learnt for free.
