I am a musician, worked in software customer service, QA and project management. I recall back in 1991 chatting with C++ developers and buying soooo many books on the subject; never finished or was successful. My confidence weaned and disappeared and I kept testing over the years and moved into management. This is a career change but more of a challenge for myself. I am determined to finally do this and seem to be somewhat successful in understanding things this time around and only 28 years later. Rock on!
