Search Planet Source Code in ASP with the name "Cleaver" C++: Search Planet Source Code in C/C++ with the name "Cleaver"   Resume: Information: I have been programming for windows for about 2 3/4 years, I am also in the Cisco Networking Academy. I'm more skilled in Visual Basic than in anything else. I've completed eight projects on RAC so far, all with a rating of "excellent". The bidders were extremely satisfied. I've written testing software for schools, database software for car dealerships, and much more. I believe I am a well 'rounded' coder. I have experience in a range of fields. I have an extremely steep learning curve. I continue to keep myself updated in the new technologies, and I learn constantly. I can adapt in almost any programming language. Now, to the Bio... I was kind of thrown into the programming world. It was unexpected. I had to get surgery, and I was chair-bed bound for almost 3 months. During this time I had virtually nothing to do. So I found myself playing quake or other miscellaneous games. I had always been interested in computers... well one afternoon while I was in a game, I heard someone talking about HTML. I had only a bit of knowledge of what it was at that time. I talked to the guy and he got me started, taught me the basic tags. I was soon creating my own web pages. It was an addiction, to put it lightly. After I had nearly mastered most concepts of HTML, I moved on to things that could be more worth-while. I bought my copy of Visual Basic 6.0 at a local computer store named "COMP USA". I was more addicted to this then Web Design. I later learned C++, and moved on to more interesting web-based languages... such as ASP, PHP, and Perl. The reason I say I have a steep learning curve is because this all happened within a 1 1/2 year period. Programming has changed my life forever. People spend their entire lives working in cubicles with jobs they hate. I am lucky. I love to program. My Goals: 1)To Provide my clients with Top-Knotch Software and/or websites. 2) To become a successful Computer Engineer   Top Coder Competition Raw Score   Average Job Size Average Coder Rating Number of Completed Jobs Penalty for Missed Status Reports Warnings * $41.63 x 9.66 x 8 - (0 warnings x 1000 penalty) = 0   Raw Score Total: 3,217 * Penalty rule enacted on 10/8/2001 and applies only to warnings sent after that date.
