I've been a developer of business applications since 1990. I got my foot in the door with Realia COBOL with ScreenIO and moved to Paradox and MenuWorks (back in the pre-Windows days) to Oracle Forms and Reports to VB3/4/5/6, (d)COM(+), ASP, ASPx, WinForms, WebForms, WebServices, c#/vb.net from VS2003/7.1 to VS2015. These days I'm really enjoying AngularJS with Typescript.
