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.

Well when I was one of those hobbyist programmers back in the 80s,we did the real fun stuff on our 8bit micros in pure mc, coding happily away in assembler. You know MONS, GENS and the like. Then the Amigas and STs came along - so much power, with real C compilers... but at the end of the day it was asm too, since MC68K assembly looks pretty much like an HLL compared to Z80... ahh the memories!
