How I Got Started
Decades ago I took my first computer coding class at the California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. My professor, Emile E. Attala, originally from Cairo, Egypt, had worked for NASA as part of the 3 man team programming backup code for the troubled Apollo 13 Moonshot in 1970, helping rescue the astronauts. He made computer coding so fascinating. I am continuing as a perpetual online student today, 2019.
