Yup, was in love with Java!

I learned programming on 8051 microcontroller, Assembly Language. Loved it It took awhile to get over it and learn C, which I loved. During a networking course I took, 600 level course, I did my first couple of assignments in C and damn it took a while to finish this assignment, this was during my master and then when my best friend introduced me to Java!!

I fell in love with it and have been working on in for last 8 years, but recently I started working on JS and Node, they are even better. It depends whom you talk with, based on my experience I would not want to be an expert in one language, I want to learn the upcoming technologies.

Falling in love with a language (Java) and also may being arrogant that I know all the programming concepts kind of made it difficult to learn Node, specially thought java has callbacks, I wasn't used to it and my brain wasn't ready to understand those concepts well when I was learning in JS.

Moral : Go in to learn as if you don't know anything.
