      Hi grillween, and thanks for asking my first Question 🙂

      I started programming when I was really young, in fact I was a really poor reader at primary school, and learning to program computers was some “bribery” to get me reading. However i loved computers and enjoyed using them (mainly for games) ever since.

      It was only when I went to University and studied Physics with Computer Science that I really got into programming properly, and i was just amazed at the diversity of problems that can be solved with a computer and a few lines of code.

      Hope this answers the question, and you enjoy the rest of IAS2011.

      Mark
