Starting Over..

I am bored to tears, yes I am. I have been working for more than a year now and am wondering where did all the fun go? Its not as fun as it used to be, I have weird cravings for C and C++, I want to write something special, an awesome piece of a code, something that sweeps my brains away, and until am able to feed that urge,, until I do that I have decided to look back at the good times, remember all the theories, all the SCIENCE and stuff I used to love.

The majority of developers working today are working on fairly straight forward systems doing fairly simplistic things like tying up a gui to a database. For the most parts that means you don’t need to be a good software developer, broadly speaking it doesn’t matter if you don’t have an in-depth understanding of your programming language or lack a formal comp sci education.

However there is another world, a much more fun world in my opinion although others may disagree. A world in which you need to have expertise in your language, where you really need to understand what exactly your code is doing and often how it’s achieving it. A world in which you need to be a good software developer to survive and get the job done.

You may find this series pretty useful for any technical interview but I am writing it for the sake of pure enjoyment and for the sake of my poor soul before I become a total “tool expert” and not a programmer anymore:(.

I will start with bits n pieces of the old days’ memories...
