I've taught myself starting with my TRS-80 Color Computer II 16k when I was 7 using the manuals. When I was 22, I worked as a professional programmer at Output Services in Boulder, Colorado. I later worked as a technology paraprofessional at the elementary I attended. I am now 40 with my own company, <a href="https://originalpursuitsllc.com/">Original Pursuits LLC</a>.</p> <p>I have a lot of personal experience learning and teaching myself languages and technologies. I am creative and don't shy away from strange ideas or projects or try to hammer the errant nail.</p> <p>I am available to talk about programming, questions, advice, projects, how-to, theory, debugging, and generally getting things to work. Any language, any tech, newbie or experienced, young or old, doesn't matter to me. I may or may not be able to help fully, but I'm always interested.</p> <p>I am interested in game development, particularly its artistic/writing aspect and how that interacts with the programming.</p> <p>I head up <a href="https://howtoprogramanything.com/">HowToProgramAnything.com</a>, which I am working to expand. It is meant to be a resource for free programming tutorials and information.</p> <p>My personal website is <a href="https://wunk.me/">wunk.me</a>, and my "bibliography" site is <a href="https://asherwolfstein.com/">AsherWolfstein.com</a>.</p> <p>I define myself as a philosophical and entrepreneurial artist-programmer interested in game development, language, technology, music, and culture. I peruse technical textbooks, manga (漫画) / anime, science fiction, cookbooks, role-playing games, self-help, and anything unique or obscure. I play, write, design, and program computer games and study Japanese (日本語). Sometimes I build my own fursuits and go fursuiting in public. Overall, I subscribe to and act out a unique individualism where I never quite belong to any one group.</p> <p>I am a mostly-gay married male in his forties (but young at heart) living in Fort Collins, Colorado (USA), who happens to be an anthropomorphic wunk from the future. A wunk is a hybrid between a wolf and a skunk. As for the future, let’s say a little accidental time travel has left me with a very forward-looking perspective.</p> <p>My telegram is: asherwolfstein<br> My discord is: asherwolfstein<br> My twitter is: asherwolfstein<br> My instagram is: asherwolfstein</p> <p>Let's chat!</p> <p>Your helpful, friendly wunk,<br> Asher</p> beginners programming learning computerscience
