I started a year ago. I didn't know PHP, MySql, or HTML, really...I had been programming all of my career, in mainframe languages, and recently in the past few years, Java, to some extent. Formally, I'm a Sr. Systems Engineer, but thats really just a title for old mainframe dinosaurs that no one has the mercy to tell them they are extinct...
Well, I can tell ya now, I LOVE THIS STUFF!! As said before, each time one plays, one gains a deeper understanding and view of things. Thru PnG, I have become somewhat skilled, even to the point of planning and creating some hacks on my own!
I end up changing alot of the hacks I get. Not because they are borken, but more so to fit in wif some of the others I haev applied. Sometimes, a hack needs adjustment to fit my styles, whatever the reason, I usually am only annoyed by the fact that I never seem to get enough time to "hack", and do it the way I want !! (Ask my wyfe, she never see's me any where other than my desk)
So, when 3.0 hits the streets, yes, I will begin again. And I'll love it!
