Ajay Vijayvargiya

Software Developer (Senior)

India

Started programming with GwBasic back in 1996 (Those lovely days!). Found the hidden talent!

Touched COBOL and Quick Basic for a while.

Finally learned C and C++ entirely on my own, and fell in love with C++, still in love! Began with Turbo C 2.0/3.0, then to VC6 for 4 years! Finally on VC2008/2010.

I enjoy programming, mostly the system programming, but the UI is always on top of MFC! Quite experienced on other environments and platforms, but I prefer Visual C++. Zeal to learn, and to share!

France

I'm an independent Software Developer living in the Alpes Maritimes (aka French Riviera).

Even if in the past I have worked regularily with Fortran, Pascal, Basic (not necessarily Visual), and much more esoteric languages (who knows Prolog, Lotus 123 macros ?), even if I still work from time to time with C#, Java or some "interpreted languages", I'm more specialized in C++.
I work on MFC since the very first version, I enjoy working on Visual Studio 2010, its C++0x features, STL, MFC, boost, WTL ...
