If I'm a programmer today it's only thanks to all those ugly games for Commodore 16! Yep, I was only 6 when I got that computer, and I immediately started to learn BASIC because the games on cassette were boring.
Today I'm a senior Web Developer even if I started working as System Administrator on Linux systems (that was a very useful experience because it gave me many more skills).
My specialties are Javascript and ASP.NET (with c# of course) but I've spent much, much time with PHP as well.
It's about 2 years that I also develop iPhone/iPad apps, like this one http://itunes.apple.com/it/app/imatrix-photo-effect/id385465319?mt=8
