| 29 | <a href=mailto:fernando_cacciola@hotmail.com>Fernando Cacciola</a> has been programming since 1984 when he got his hand |
|---|
| 30 | on a Tandy Color Computer II for the first time. He started with BASIC at the time, but quickly moved to Assembly Language to get |
|---|
| 31 | the most out of the Home Computers of the time (from a Sinclair 1500 [Z80] to a Commodore 64 [Motorola 6510]).</p> |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | <p> |
|---|
| 34 | In 1990 he discovered |
|---|
| 35 | the C programming language and started working as a professional programmer. In 1995 he discovered C++, |
|---|
| 36 | and during his long time employement in a company producing CAD systems, the |
|---|
| 37 | fields of Computational Geometry, Computer Graphics, Image Processing and |
|---|
| 38 | Numerics in general.</p> |
|---|
| 39 | <p>He studied Biochemistry at the John F. Kennedy (Argentina) University for 4 years, but had to drop because of his full-time job |
|---|
| 40 | as a programmer. He would complete a CS degree if he only had the time.</p> |
|---|
| 41 | <p>After 13 years of being an employed programmer (in just a couple of companies), by the end of 2003 he became a freelancer |
|---|
| 42 | and founded SciSoft, a company specialized in technically/scientifically-oriented software.</p> |
|---|
| 43 | <p>He loves to spend his spare-time, which isn't much, with his wife Silvia and his daugther Brisa. By the time of this writing (October 2004) |
|---|
| 44 | he is expecting a second child. If there's any time left, he enjoys stoping by a friend with his family, and studying math, |
|---|
| 45 | pyshics and chemistry. He would also enjoy some outdoor activity or sport, but there is no time left for this.</p> |
|---|
| 46 | <p>He was born in 1971 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.</p> |
