Please do not include me in the giveaways, but congrats on the major life achievement! I'm super jealous of you doing something I've always thought about doing but never had the motivation to do. If this thread isn't already, maybe you should do an AMA on here sometime about your experiences.
I've just started my second semester at college, I'm currently studying Object-Orientated-Programming, previous semester was procedural. I'm hoping to one day follow in the same line of foot-steps and get into work based on my passion for programming, creating and designing new software or even games (once I hit University in a year and a half to start my Degree/Honorary Bachelor's Degree) Currently part-time employed, next semester we start event-driven-programming after OOP. Damn good to hear about the success!
Big Congratulations and a lot of success for you!! AMA is short for Ask me Anything a very popular topic on sites like reddit.com.
