It's now approx. 12 years that I'm in business. I was 12 years when I started developing. Wow! That is half of my life, I'm realizing that right now! OMG... So long.
I haven't seen a lot changes, although I have tried a lot technologies at university: also old technologies. I know a few guys who are longer in tech and they have seen a lot stuff happening.
I'm sure I will see a lot happening in the future *curious* -

Since this is my first time in this forum could somebody explain what the big deal is? The question seems legitimate or am I missing something?

Oh, it's just the ghost of trolls past. A poster named Beer28 was 'asked to leave' a long time ago, but some folks here just can't get him out of they heads.

On the business side, I've been working on things for about 5-6 years.
Sum total: around 24-25 years.
Something tells me you haven't been on earth for 3/4ths of this time...

Whatever it is, I didn't do it.
I can understand why some are reacting this way. But it was not an aggressive post, nor a troll post, but rather a legit question of interest.
To answer the OP15 years, 15 years, to many to list here. but a few come to mind.

Sounds like they need to grow up a little bit. There doesn't appear to be anything trollish or wrong with this thread.

Man, I feel like such a n00b now
, good thing I'm a fast learner, I suppose. Put it this way, my first "serious" programming language was C# and I didn't seriously touch a computer until college. That was back in 1999, so seven years for me now. I have
since gone back and learned assembly, c/c++, etc. But still, I feel like I missed out on a bit .I'm still trying to find an Apple II in good condition on EBay. I want an Apple II darn it

Dude, I got my Apple IIe w/ a 5.25 drive on ebay for 99 cents. The shipping was $15 though. LOL
I scored a free color monitor at a local garage sale.
