==Me==
I am Mike Neurohr, an [[graduate of::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://sites.google.com/site/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 returned to when I wasn't on co-op), where I started doing a lot of my RC editing. 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 started work at Bank of America (Charlotte, NC) in August 2010.
I'd like to teach programming, but I'd like to not go to grad school. I probably should have majored in CS, but I didn't realize this until it was too late to go back (so I got a minor instead).
I end up doing a lot of structural editing on RC. I 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
I used to live with [[User:Qrush|Qrush]] and [[User:Slawmaster|Slawmaster]] in what Slawmaster calls "the RC power-apartment." They have been inactive for a while, but I can sometimes get them to contribute a Lisp (Slawmaster) or Ruby (Qrush) example if a cool task arises.{{Rcpower}}

[[:Category:Sorting Algorithms|Sorting algorithm]]: [[Bubble Sort]] for arrays, [[Merge sort]] for other [[collections]], though really it's a question of dataset size
Editor: [http://www.netbeans.org NetBeans] for projects ([[Eclipse]] is OK too), notepad or equivalent for things I just want to try
Braces for one-line [[Conditional Structures|conditionals]] and [[:Category:Iteration|loops]]: Not usually, but yes for a complex project, and the open brace is always on the same line as the conditional or loop

Line 72:
*This program is kind of fun. How many languages can program it?
*Hey I still know this incredibly old/under-used language. Let me throw some examples up here.
*This fringe detail that only has occasional and minimal impact on the operation of this program is worded slightly wrong (see: [[User:Mwn3d/Word mincing|word mincing]]).
*English is not my/your first language so I/you don't communicate in a way that makes sense to you/me (this can manifest itself as long, confused arguments sometimes related to [[User:Mwn3d/Word mincing|word mincing]] where people get angry and someone just gives up rather than people coming to the right conclusion).
'''How I want it to be used'''
(No promises that I even use it these ways, see also: [[User:Mwn3d/Personal policies|personal policies]])
*Here's a practical way to do this in language X that definitely works with a clear explanation.
*Here is a nice explanation of this common problem/algorithm/programming topic.
*You should start by looking at these examples when trying to learn language X.
*This demonstrates a difference between language X and Y.
*I don't know too much about programming. Maybe this site can help.
'''How I suspect some non-contributors may be using it'''
*This task is exactly like/very similar to my recent homework assignment. Sweet! Now I don't have to really do the assignment.
*I thought this problem/algorithm would have a simpler explanation here. I'm lost in notation and vocabulary. I'll look somewhere else.
*This website has more language X/my language users/examples so it's better than language Y/your language. I win!
