Well, I decided it was time for me to start sharing some of my insight and knowledge I have gathered over the years. I am not claiming to be an expert or guru, and I will be the first one to admit that I don’t know it all (yet). Nevertheless, I have learned a few things about computers since I started programming back in 1980.
At the age of 13, I started teaching myself to program in BASIC on a Commodore PET computer. This was a green-screen desktop personal computer that had a cassette drive, and the mouse did not yet exist. I taught myself BASIC, and started writing programs. I managed to obtain a Commodore Vic-20, and eventually took home a C-64. The Vic and the 64 both connected to my TV in my bedroom. So, when I wasn’t watching Batman reruns or Battlestar Galactica, I was working on programming in BASIC. My interests were mostly in games, although my dad got me to write a program that would keep up with his mortgage payments. Over the years, amid various distractions, I have continued to develop my programming skills, and I’ve learned a few tricks along the way.
Through this blog, it is my intention to share some of what I have learned, and pass along some of the things that helped me build the self-confidence to start my company in the first place. Aside from telling all about Melton Global, I will share some stories, anecdotes, and some tips and tricks covering everything from simple program structure, Web Design, and organic Search Engine Optimization.
I hope what I share is enjoyable, and maybe even entertaining.
Until Next Time,
Preston
