I first learned the basics of C by myself and a little help from friends, after that I learned C++ at school, php, MYSQL, and so on.
I'm a big fan of the KISS principle, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirth%27s_law
I don't like languages like java, C#, javascript, but am a big fan of python and C++
I'm interested in cartography, procedural generation, hardware.
