Where and how did you get into programming ? For me it was in my Curriculum where I started and loved it on the day I did my "Hello World"
For Me Computers was just a fondness from school. Then joined NIIT while in college and programming was part of curriculum. In College too, but not much.
as a hobby, just had lots of free time when i was a kid and i started to play the computer and build small programs but today it is more like a hobby - i dont work as a programmer
