Greetings!

Hello All,

Just introducing myself here on the forum. I've been looking for a good Java forum to join and this one has looked the most promising so here I am.

I've been programming for the last 6 years. I started teaching myself C/C++ then I moved on to Java. I've also picked up some x86 Assembly and Python over the years. I love programming and do it regularly as a hobby as well as doing some side work in computer repair (hard & soft-ware). I love not only programming but also building and fixing computers and have accumulated quite a collection of them over the years.

I'm currently a physics student at a leading university here in the US. I've taken a few Computer Science classes over the past couple years - which were very informative from a theory perspective - but I enjoy solving programming problems from my own practical approach to the subject.

My favorite area in the computer and programming field centers on security. I enjoy hacking (though not illegal hacking) as well as the area of cryptography. I hope that one day I may find myself working for a computer security firm doing things such as penetration testing and security auditing.

I hope that I can help many people here on the forum and that on the occaisions when I find myself stuck with a Java task, that others can do the same for myself.

I hope to meet and help a lot of you and hope you guys can help me as well!

Cheers!

Welcome to the forums Ellipsis

Hello Ellipsis,

Welcome to the Java Programming Forums :) It's good to have you here.

You sound similar to myself. I love programming but also enjoy fixing and building computers.
I used to run a security website around 9 years ago which really got me interested in programming.
I still like to follow the security scene today.

I'm sure you will learn lots from our members. Enjoy the site.
