Professional ios Programming


My first experience with a computer was at the age of 15 at a technical high school in the Netherlands where I was introduced to the Sinclair ZX-81. It was a little computer with only 16 KB of memory, but it was amazing and I started programming on it from day one. In 1981 when the hardware and software revolution started, I moved on to an Exidy Sourcer and the Commodore 64, soon followed by my first XT personal computer. I was intrigued by the fact that you could program these machines to do exactly what you wanted them to do, and I wanted to be able to develop programs for these systems. I started programming in Assembler, and in time I learned to program in C, Basic, QuickBasic, Delphi, Pascal, Turbo Pascal, C++, Java, Microsoft VB.NET, Microsoft C#, and Objective-C. Programming became my profession, and I liked it. However, because of the skills and knowledge I had gained, like many programmers I moved on to work as an analyst, software engineer, and consultant, and eventually ended up in a management position. I was doing less and less programming, which was the thing I liked the most. In my professional career I’ve managed and co-founded several IT service companies and worked as a project manager, business consultant, and director, but always was able to find the time to do some software development during these projects.
