Most of us that work in the IT industry have been around for a long time. We started out in our parents basement writing code in some BASIC environment, ussually Commodore BASIC or QBASIC. Do you remember how thrilling it was? Your first program and it was something extremely basic but the point was it worked. Some of us got hooked right away and kept trying to solve problems and added more and more pushing the capabilities of whatever language we used. As we got older the environments progressed and the programming tools progressed and got more complicated.

Im not really proficient with Python, I dont use it, so I didnt want to mention it because if I dont know it, I dont know what it can do. Really the only thing I do know about Python is that it was written by Guido Van Rossum. As for Java and C++ I mention them because merely because the tools are available and if someone wants to use their time to learn C++ and Java then so be it, C++ is easy enough for me but maybe because I am proficient in it I dont find it hard. Im sorry is I left out some things of importance and if I didnt mention your language of choice please dont take it personally.
