And, maybe for me, it all starts from here.
Since a teenager, I was attracted by ‘electronic and what follows.
From very early on, I wanted to understand the basics of electronics, I started with a few magazines of the period.
I did not attend a school for the electronics industry, but many of my friends were attending a nearby school of electronics and computer science.
For common passion with the neighbors I started building rudimentary electronic boards.
A little later, I had the opportunity to buy a Commodore 64, it was hard to digest from my parents, but then I have succeeded. 😛
At the time the commodore was used mostly for playing games, NO, I did not play games made by others, I would have loved to play games made by me.
With the help of the usual magazines, I have become increasingly closer to the Basic programming language.
I’ve always liked them develop, it is like stepping into a part of your time alone.
I am a stranger and I relax .. .
The basic was too little too close to electronics, so why not directly program the address?
While the increased newsstand magazines, I studied the assembler and not studying the subjects at school.
That tell you to do, parents are delighted!
With great difficulty and discomfort I finished high school.
Here my parents touched the sky. 😀
For my talents as a designer and user of the computer, I immediately went to work in a chocolate factory.
While working in Chocolate, my Dad I enrolled in a course of programmer in the distant city of Assisi, about 2 hours from home.
In the morning to work in chocolate, afternoon course in Assisi until 23:00 hrs, returning home around 01:00 and all this for 8 months.
All made possible thanks to my Dad who accompanied me every day at 2-hour drive from home.
After the programming course, and given the excellent results achieved, the proposal I had to go to work for IBM for a project involving a large Italian bank.
