I'm Ryan. I'm 16. I registered an account here because I saw a thread that I just had to reply to.
Now is probably the perfect time for me to be getting into a programming forum; I'm beginning to inspect the strengths and weaknesses of most of the mainstream languages and build at least a basic understanding of them at the same time.

You can skip this if you're not interested. :v

Right now I know PHP, Ruby, Perl (cannot ever have enough RegEx), HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL 

(although I much prefer no-SQL databases) and Lua thoroughly.

I have a fair understanding of the following languages, although I (probably) couldn't 

do anything astonishingly great with them:

Java, Scheme, C#, C++, Common Lisp, Objective Caml.


In the next couple of years, I'd like to be able to do something good with C++ and/or C# 

(not too hard to imagine, I made a 'guess the number' program on my own with only a few minor 

errors, which I also fixed alone, 5 minutes after seeing a page about basic syntax, using only 

common sense and my knowledge of other languages (yes, I'm rather proud of this)) and have a good understanding of some form of ASM.

I got into the general programming thing when I entered high school. My school's system administrators are overly security conscious, so naturally I decided that slacking off in any class involving the use of computers was a virtuous quest.
After one year of thoroughly probing, exploiting (and selling) exploits for my school's setup with various self-made batch and visual basic scripts (I've forgotten almost everything about creating both), I was given an account with elevated privileges, just to keep me busy.
Since then, I've pretty much been playing around whenever I've been bored. Recently I've realised how well I can do in this field if I apply myself, so I've decided that I'm going to learn as much as I can.

Sorry about the length of this, my introductions always turn out way longer than I intend them to be. :<

Hello Ryan, you seem to have quite a mind for tinkering with computers. You always can learn so much about what each piece of code does in your program if you take apart the basic functions, it is always neat to see how it all works so you can know bugs or issues without with your program even looking them up.

Feel free to ask away no matter how small the questions here. :)
