As soon as I left high school, I needed a small IT job, and that's what I got!
Using VB.net and Access (which I had learned at school), I had to create a management system for the dam's water irrigation contracts.
Twelve years later, it is still in use and working great: simple with a single task!
That's it! A boring story, I admit, but it's really nice to have something that ‘works’.
