I’m a completely self-taught software developer that develops mostly for legacy Windows operating systems like Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, which are by the way my favourite systems and, in my opinion, the best operating systems ever released.
Generally developing in Visual Basic .NET, an easy to learn but also powerful programming language. My mostly used IDE for that is Visual Studio 2012, which works nicely and flawlessly on my system running Windows 8.1.
Just want to say that I really love 
in general! It’s very close to being perfect: easy to use but also powerful at the same time.
