I was always interested in programming and did my first steps with Basic. After that I switched to Visual Basic, Delphi and even some Assembler.
As I began my first studies (electrical engineer) I was introduced in Java and noticed that my former programming knowlege was much too insufficient. As my studies went on I was much more interested in programming as in my major subject, so I broke up studies and began an apprenticeship as a developer, in which I successfully graduated.
Since then I work as a JavaEE developer for:

• Server-side development
  • EJB 2.x and EJB 3.x
  • WebServices
  • MVC programming with JSF 2.x/Servlets
  • JPA with Hibernate
  • JavaMail
• Client-side development
  • GUI with SWT and JavaFX
  • developing Workflow- and Data-Management-Systems
  • a bit of Android programming

I also do the related stuff like server administration and consulting but thats not my primary assignment and therfore I have to learn a lot.

[cheesy] like the good programmer I want to become I'm intersted in everything crossing my way and I'm glad that I found Stackoverflow for showing me alternative ways to reach my goal.[/cheesy]

Thats it. Have Fun!
