About Me:
My name is Robert Ferris. I am a full time Computer Science student, attending Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in pursuit of my Bachelors Degree (anticipated in early 2011) having received my Associates Degree in May 2008 from Adirondack Community College. A unique fact about me is that I only turned 18 in March 2008. I was a year ahead throughout high school, and began my college education at Adirondack Community College during my senior year of high school.
Programming:
I have been messing around with programming since the age of 12. I began with a C++ book and taught myself some simple stuff in C++. Later, I found the
Allegro Game Programming Library and began messing around with some simple game programming and similar projects. Since then, I have also learned and worked with PHP, C# with .NET, Visual Basic .NET, Java, and various other programming and scripting languages. I do occasional freelance programming work either for local customers or through Rent-A-Coder.
Hobbies:
I try to spend as much time as I can on various projects (most of which can be seen on my home page), but life usually gets in the way of that. Aside from school, various projects involving Pocket PCs and Windows Mobile are the focus of my time, but I also work on various projects involving Windows programming, web development, and occasionally games. I spend time working with various operating systems, including versions of Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Apple's OS X. When I'm not spending time working with computers or school work, I like to hang out with friends. Typically, we usually go see a movie, go racing at the Go-Kart track, or compete in video games.
