Welcome to your doom! </altered beast>

I am a 28 year old guy from Sweden, and I'm going to blog here about my studies and eventually about work, if it works out alright. I also have some ideas for concepts that might be interesting or even helpful to others. I've had a break from studying quite a few years now, but with everything I've learned during that time I feel I'm more ready than ever to tackle any challenges that may come up. I imagine most people who read this blog will already know me, but who knows?

It's hard to know where to start, but I don't really think I need to type out all the details here. For now it'll have to suffice that I'm mostly autodidact when it comes to computers, but I'm willing to swallow my pride to increase career opportunities. I have quite a bit of knowledge of programming already, so it does feel a bit silly having to take basic programming classes. Thankfully the classes are pretty flexible, now that it's not a formal school that I actually have to attend, so the studies take the whole focus. From what I understand I'll be able to skip ahead fairly quickly to more advanced classes in subjects I'm good at.

The programming classes will be using Java to teach OOP, but I can complement with C++ later on. I already have pretty extensive knowledge of Python and OOP in that context and some previous knowledge of Pascal and C to help me out. I'm by no means a full-fledged programming guru, but I can fix bugs, clean up code as long as it's not too advanced and write simpler programs without too much hassle. By the end of my studies I expect to be better by at least an order of magnitude, so well, by then I might actually start calling myself a programmer instead of a sloppy coder.

In any case, I will post more about my ideas and thoughts with updates on how my studies are going over the next couple of years. Hopefully someone will find it entertaining or perhaps even useful.
