I am Mike Neurohr, an [[wpgraduate of::RIT|RIT]] graduate, who majored in computer engineering. If you don't know what that is, mix computer science and electrical engineering, then add [[Assembly]] and [[Bell Labs|transistors]], and you got it. You can see some of my code and philosophy <s>theory</s> ramblings on my [http://rekaeuqs1sites.googlepagesgoogle.com/homesite/rekaeuqs1/ web page] (some links in the "Projects" section below go to my website as well). I have learned to code based on the [http://www.cs.rit.edu/~f2y-grd/java-coding-standard.html RIT coding standard] (which hasn't gotten me in trouble with other nerds yet), but sometimes I abandon minor rules for convenience (using "continues" and ternary operators).

I am originally from Pennsylvania. I had a [[wp:Cooperative education|co-op]] job at [http://www.spectracomcorp.com/ Spectracom] from December 2007 to March 2008 in Rochester, NY. My previous job was as a TA for a [http://www.cs.rit.edu/~vcss231 Java class at RIT] (which I usually returnreturned to when I wasn'm nott on co-op), where I started doing a lot of my RC editing (I've been back to that job a few times). I also advertised RC to the kids while I worked as a TA. My next job was another co-op at [http://thomsonreuters.com/ Thomson-Reuters] (formerly Thomson-West), where I tested software (mostly using [[JUnit]]). I worked from June through November 2009 at [http://www.cims.rit.edu CIMS], a lab at RIT. I will be startingstarted work at Bank of America (Charlotte, NC) in August 2010.

I end up doing a lot of structural editing on RC. I would like to see this site looking good and working properly. People are coming here to get programming help. The languages they're looking at are hard enough to use without a difficult website on top of it, so we should be as organized and logical as possible. My 4000th6000th edit was changingadding a [[Reports:TasksMorpion notsolitaire/Java|separate implementedpage infor Lisaac]]a to use [[Template:Unimpllong Pagesolution]]. I also help out withfor [http://blog.rosettacode.org/[Morpion the blogsolitaire] doing [http://blog.rosettacode.org/?cat=9 stats updates].

I've primarily worked inused [[C++]] and [[Java]], with some [[Ruby]], [[C]], and [[wp:Motorola_68K|Motorola 68K]] Assembly (only Java and C professionally, and C was barely professional). I've also worked inused [[BASIC]] ([[wp:QuickBASIC|QuickBasic 4.5]] in particular)--my first programming language. In high school, I learned [[QuickBasic]], C/C++, Java, [[wp:Apple_IIe|Apple IIe]] Assembly, [[Pascal]], and [[Visual Basic]] (all somehow without learning what an object is...?). I mostly use Java now. I kind of wish I got money for every time I "Added a Java example." I have taken college classes in C and VHDL. At my first co-op, I used [http://www.opnet.com OPNET]. The coding part of OPNET is C with some predefined functions (which usually make the program fail). All my other working experience (two other co-ops and my current job) has been in Java.

Editor: [http://www.netbeans.org NetBeans] for projects ([[Eclipse]] foris projectsOK too), notepad or equivalent for things I just want to try

I have been a [[Windows]]/[[Microsoft]] user for the longest time. I used DOS (playing Commander Keen and Duke Nukem) way back before I knew how to check versions and all. I used Windows 95, 98SE, 2000, XP, and XP7. At college I started using [[UNIX]] and [[Solaris]] for CS (along with [[Emacs]] and Eclipse) and I've used [[GNU]]/[[Linux]] (Debian testing w/Gnome). The synaptic package manager was what drew me to it. If you haven't seen it, you'll be converted when you do. I've found that without Linux, I miss having multiple desktops (which I don't feel like installing for Windows). It has been hard to get the motivation to install Linux again. It probably won't happen for a while.
