If I was not a programmer…?
Well sometimes i think what I would have been doing if I was not a programmer? Simple… isn't it? Most of my friends dreamed about becoming some traditional electronics engineer, because the sound of it was loved by everyone and it used to be one of the sought after career until the millennium era came into existence. I was no exception, as most had to chose out of engineers, doctors, teachers etc. I hated them all, but just for the sake of choosing one, I wanted to pursue electronics engineering.
Everything was fine before the day when I grew an interest into computers. When my friends used it to play games, I found it an unprecedented access to a wealth of information. It felt like this what I need. From the school days I loved the subjects that were logical specially mathematics, and computer is all 0's and 1's 
I loved the idea of writing the peace of code to instruct the computer perform activities.
Initially I developed interest in system programming and learnt C, C++, Core Java, Swing, RMI, et-all. I loved these programming languages as they had the power to manipulate the operating system and system softwares. That was the time when Java programming language used to be popular amongst budding programmers and enthusiasts. Later I learnt some Microsoft technologies starting with Visual Basic 6.0, Classic ASP, SQL Server to ASP.net. I got my first job as a Web Programmer where I used to code in ASP and occasionally did some desktop based applications using Visual Basic. And you know as they say… "The learning never stops if you have a desire to learn". Kept upgrading myself with upcoming technologies such as PHP, Coldfusion a bit of Flash Action Scripting (this is really interesting).
I've been programming and designing websites for more than 7 years now and I still love doing that. It never happened that I lost interest for a single day. I loved my journey so far. Here is the career graph:
1) Trainee Web Programmer
2) Web Programmer
3) Sr. Web Developer
4) Team Leader
5) Project Manager
6) Director & CTO & Human Resource Head
7) Founding Director & CEO
If I look back, there were so many ups and down ( LOL… you cant see that in my career graph), but regardless I'm happy with this and I can't even imagine an alternative career for me
PS: I'm not a professional blogger and this is my first ever blog (yes its true). I look forward to your comments!
