When I ran across <a href="https://pragprog.com/titles/btlang/seven-languages-in-seven-weeks/">Seven Languages in Seven Weeks</a> I was intrigued by functional programming. I&rsquo;d never seen anything like it. Somewhere after this I heard about <em>Elixir</em> and ended up buying <a href="https://pragprog.com/titles/elixir16/programming-elixir-1-6/">Programming Elixir</a>.</p> https://simplyimagined.github.io/post/2023-05-01-story-so-far/ Mon, 01 May 2023 13:43:31 -0500 https://simplyimagined.github.io/post/2023-05-01-story-so-far/ <p>I have been fortunate to experience changes from the very first home computers to our handheld pocket marvels today. I began with a 300 baud modem, thought 1200 baud single duplex was amazing, and now multi-gigabit ethernet. I began on an Apple ][ and have used PCs, mainframes, Sparc stations, embedded systems, and now phones and the web. I have written games, a stadium card-stunt generator, embedded scientific instruments, medical devices, factory assembly line software, multi-platform hardware configuration UI, iPhone apps, and now web apps.</p>
