First time I got to know about programming languages is in my III year B.Sc Maths. It was a fun that time to learn a programming language using which we can make what we want like simple games, web applications using HTML, and writing a file, modifying a file etc.. just by mere click on run button.
First programming language that got introduced to me was C then C++ and finally C# in my post graduation. As a mathematics student I was never interested in this programming languages though they are fascinating to me. Due to some personal problems I happened to concentrate on Programming languages with a moto to enter into IT which was never my cup of cake. This made me to take a project on building a web-application using ASP.NET frame work with C# as a language. I really started enjoying building a website debugging the issues we face and so on. During the course I learn that coding, testing a application and debugging the issue is closely related to mathematics. Its my personal experience that a mathematics background guy can enjoy coding and debugging the issues lot more than a mere engineering student. No offenses here, i am expressing what i felt.
After My studies I started my career with Thomson Reuters as a Quality Analyst. Though I used to love coding I dind't have a chance to join development team. So as a part time hobby I started learning this language called JAVA. Slowly I started loving it for the fact it was open source and it was not so difficult compared to C++ or C#. I learnt OOPS concepts better when started using JAVA. Slowly I started loving coding in java. One day I got a thought why shouldn't I start using it in my testing to ease some of my tasks.
This made me to work in a smart way and finish the tasks earlier than others which differentiated me from other testers in my team. Though the result was not so visible it is know only to me because I could complete the task early and leave home. From then, I started using it where ever I can and made not only my task even others too easy.
This hobby made me explore new things in the testing area like automation of an web-application, rest and soap services using some of the open source tools like selenium, fitnesse etc which made me to enjoy my career as a Software Tester. I should thank all my team mates and managers for supporting me.
Will come back with a post on "What makes JAVA so special".
