* What do YOU use to program/develop YOUR application/Homebrew ? (.NET/Basic/Pascal/C++ .... etc)
Ans: Visual Studio 2008, C++
Adobe CS4, Actionscript 3
* What Application/Homebrew have you / are you developing ??
Ans: None, i am too lazy
* Were you 'professionally trained' (ie. @ School/College/Work) or Self Taught ??
Ans: Taught in college, but it feels more like a crash course to be honest, the current batch had it better, concept and algorithmns were explained in more details
* If Self Taught - What books/tutorials did you find useful ???
Ans: Does not apply to me for C++. But i guess, googling site did help, hmm, cplusplus.com is a nice place to learn c++ stuff.
I learned Actionscripting at this website:

The advance stuff were found by surfing random sites.
* In you honest opinion - how easy do YOU think it was to learn ??
Ans: to be Honest... Not easy at all, well, when you have to idea and concept, it's easy to, but when it comes to the programming part.. It might be hard. For example, a bowling ball game.
Sounds easy right? use arrow keys to move the ball(or set it to auto-movement). Press a button and the ball will just roll, striking the pills. If it hits the sides, it will stick to the sides and goes on a straight path.
At that time, i was planning to do something like that. But what i forgotten to take into account was the physics involved. If i was moving left and release the ball, the balls has to move towards the left as well.
