User:Ttmrichter: Difference between revisions

I like to learn languages. I find that I learn languages better if I use them. Before I can use them for real work, however, I need to use them in small tasks to wrap my head around concepts. I'm not a maths geek (and indeed I hate the field and learn what I have to to program only under duress). As such, [http://projecteuler.net/ Project Euler] is not suited to me. I like tasks that are at least vaguely practical and perhaps a little bit quirky. Rosetta Code looks perfect for this.

What you can expect to see from me, then, is code from whatever language I'm learning or reviewing at the moment, frequently edited and re-edited constantly as I learn better ways to do things. There are two sources of this desire to learn or review: my whimsy (for example at the time of this writing I'm learning [[Category:Mercury|Mercury]]) and [http://michael.richter.name my vanity page] (sadly rarely updated).

I'm open to communication. You can leave messages on my talk page. You can email me at [mailto:ttmrichter@gmail.com ttmrichter@gmail.com] or add me on XMPP/Jabber at the same address. I also hang around on FreeNode under the handle ttmrichter, especially in the #yfl channel.
