I'm into #SoftwareDevelopment, #WebDevelopment, #InfoSec, #VanLife, #CanalBoats (#Widebeam) and #GeoPolitics.

I develop #Windows #desktop and #web based #applications, #games and #websites using various combinations of the .NET (#DotNET) Framework, C# (#CSharp), #WPF, vanilla #JavaScript, #HTML, #CSS, #SQLServer, #MySQL, #PHP, #XML and #JSON - dependent upon the individual needs of the project.

This #mastodon #migration does not appear to have gone right. Loads of notifications of people following me. Far more than the number reflects.

So can't manually re-follow people either.

No matter what many may say about it, it would be fair to say that so very many people of my generation got into software development initially through using some dialect of the #BASIC programming language, considering it was the language either built-in, or bundled with practically every major hobbyist and home computer from the 1970s through to the mid 1990s.
