John Nowinsky

Hi, my name is John Nowinsky.

I am an Air Force brat. I went to more schools than I can count. It was tough going from one school to another. Making new friends at every new stop but no lasting friends. I would not trade the experience though. It was a chance to see many new places that many never have the opportunity to.

I discovered computers from my dad. He was an electronic hobbyist which meant subscriptions to Popular and Radio Electronics. About the time I was about to enter high school. They came out with articles on the Altair and I was hooked on the possibilities.

I entered highschool and I enrolled in a computer class. As luck would have it the school purchased 3 Apple IIs and hired a burned out IBM programmer to teach the class. This is when I realized my calliing. I wanted to get into computers

I searched for colleges and at the time the only one offering a computer program geared to business was Devry Institude of Technology. I enrolled and graduated.

My career has taken me away from programming into more of the computer hardware and software support roles. My passion for programming never left though. I taught myself html and css to build and host some music websites.

This only served to reignite my desire to return to programming. Realizing the new programming is on the internet. I'm enrolled in the University of Texas Boot Camp to become a full stack web developer.
