Self-Taught Learning 2012

I discovered programming with the intention of creating a mod for a Minecraft server I was administering, and I found myself developing numerous projects and developing a passion for this field.

I began with Java, before quickly moving on to developing websites with JavaScript and numerous frameworks.

Here is a small, non-exhaustive list of projects I worked on:

• Development of a breakout game in Java. This is the oldest functional project for which I still have the code. Sample:

  boite3.setEnabled(false);boite3.addItemListener(this);boite2.setSelectedIndex(6);boite2.addItemListener(this);degr.setSelected(true);grou.addItemListener(this);degr.addItemListener(this);
  

  (yes, all on one line, not recommended)

• Recreation of the Windows XP UI in HTML/CSS.

• Development of rudimentary Web OSes. It was a small obsession at the time, I must have made 3 or 4 versions using different stacks (PHP, Node…).

• Various applications such as an online music player, a chat/mail application, and tools for memorizing history and geography course dates.

Unfortunately, none of them were ever fully completed, but I learned a lot!
