## From the page (probably an excerpt, not Jamie's words)

I've been programming for over 30 years from machines that seem puny today (Z80 and 6502 based) to the latest kit using languages that range from BASIC, assembly language, C, C++ through Tcl, Perl, Lisp, ML, occam to arc, Ruby, Go and more. The following is a list of things I've learnt.
