Timeline

Fifteen years from a Visual Basic form to a GPU UI engine.

2011Age 9
First program, in Visual Basic
WinForms · for an audience of one
Drag a button onto Form1, double-click it, write some code, press F5. I made small apps for myself and nobody else.
2014Age 12
Minecraft plugins in Java
Bukkit · Eclipse
Plugins for Minecraft servers, written in Eclipse. The first code of mine that other people ran, and my first stack traces from strangers.
MyPlugin.javaJava
```
public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin {
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getLogger().info("Enabled!");
    }
}
```
Moved to C# and WPF
Visual Studio · XAML
Bigger apps, real data binding, and the start of a long relationship with XAML. Years later, FluentGpu has no XAML at all.
```
<Window x:Class="WpfApp1.MainWindow"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid/>
</Window>
```
An MW3 modding tool for the PS3
NextGenUpdate · as PitaGyors
A real-time modding tool for Modern Warfare 3 on modded PS3s, CEX and DEX: god-mode classes, a stat editor, name changes. The replies said it had the same mods as every other tool. They weren’t wrong.

Somtoday for Windows Phone
My first app in a store
My school used Somtoday for grades and schedules, and there was no app for Windows Phone. I had a Nokia Lumia, so I wrote one and published it in the Store. A few thousand people downloaded it.

First job: FilmFetch and Medialoc at Marteco
Marteco, with Indyvideo
We built and designed FilmFetch and Medialoc: software that moves festival films around the world, checks and test-ingests the DCPs, and makes previews and screeners, so nobody has to courier hard drives. The festivals below still run on it.
