                 My journey started at age 10 when I had my first laptop (a Asus
                 with pre installed endless linux), and since then I've been
                 hooked on computers, but i didn't exactly know what programming
                 was but i was doing it unconsciously, making winforms apps in c#
                 with visual studio.
