Hello all

My name is Natalie and I live in England.

Languages I know are php and Javascript, and I'm also thinking about learning C++, though I want to improve on my php and Javascript skills first.

I used to be really into programming as kid (that was BASIC back then lol) but then I got a civil engineering degree and stopped dabbling with programming. I've been trying to get back to it on and off for a few years now, mostly doing php/Javascript/MySQL/CSS for hobby websites but I have recently decided to give it a proper shot as I am unhappy in my day job (I am an AutoCAD technician in the transport planning industry).

While I don't expect to be able to leave my day job anytime soon, my mid-term plan (a few years?) is to become a pro programmer.

I've been lurking around the forum for a while now and thought it was time to join!

Welcome aboard! What types of programming do you want to do?

[NatalieM]

Web programming to start with and possibly software programming later on. I'm particularly interested in both the educational and scientific research fields.
