Except for some C, I have never been formally taught any programming language. All my programming knowledge
has been gained through necessity as I took classes in Neural Networks, Interface Design, and other computation-
related Cognitive Science courses. As a result, I can quickly learn new programming languages, and skills pertaining to
computers.
