var db = require('mongoose').connect('mongodb://localhost:27017');

var john = db.users.findOne( { 'name': '_JohnCurtis' } );

console.log('My name is ' + john.first_name); // TODO: ensure console logging doesn't upset sysadmins.

Hello, my name is John-Curtis. I apologize for the random blurb of simple code above; I was trying to be humorous. I'm a 22-year-old, recent university graduate from Canada. My interests include, and are mostly limited to: science, technology and of course, programming.* In the past, people have compared me to to the character Max Braverman from the NBC show "Parenthood".

Over the years, I have worked alongside some incredible individuals in trying to improve socially. In doing so, my learned social behaviors have helped me attain internships at several prominent companies in technology. I still can't look people in the eyes, though!

This feels like a natural break in the flow of this post. I will refrain from making my opening topic the size of an essay. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I look forward to becoming more active and involved in this community!

* Going to be pedantic here and point out that programming technically fits under technology.

$(document).ready(function() {
var seemsNice;
var name;
fetchName();
niceCheck(name);
if (seemsNice) {
politeGreeting(name);
} else {
runAway();
};
});

Hello, welcome to WrongPlanet. It is nice to meet you, John!


Thank you very much!

Even though this is purely for fun, I have the urge to write the rest of the code to make it functional!

...and this is why I love this forum :D

I'd love to be able to join in but I'm pretty much code-illiterate... I've gotten started with scripting applications such as Structure Synth (for 3d geometry,) and spent a good few hours getting to know vvvv ( http://vvvv.org )yesterday. I managed to make a nice lissajous-style pattern in vvvv but I opened it this morning to find that it no longer works :|

Ahh well, back to the drawing board! Do you guys know any good resources to use as a primer for programming? I'm mainly interested in coding for multimedia environments, particularly generative visuals.

Welcome, John! Hope you enjoy the place :D

Programming for work always gets in the way of my leisure programming. Balancing the two is quite the struggle.
