11 year ago I got my first software job from GetACoder site. It’s a color picker app for Windows written in C#. I made it with Windows XP PC while Vista was the latest Windows version :))

Honestly I didn’t know much about C# when I got the job, that’s why I had to learn day by day while working with new features client gave me each week. I even spent a week to learn PHP - because I didn’t know it before - just to understand a sample code I need to convert it into C#. Too many white nights and I was only about 52kg !!

Anyway it was a great job, the client paid me $60 per week in about 6 months. After that time a friend asked me to join his Joomla project and then I moved to web development.

These days I’m working mostly with Wordpress, Laravel, Vuejs. I still use the color picker app I made to pick some values on my Windows 10 desktop :))

P.S. This is my first comment on dev.to. And sorry for my bad English :)
