Hi.
My name is Mathew Robinson and I have a very high opinion of myself.
I went to a community college (I'll protect their integrity by not mentioning their name here.) and got an Associates of Applied Science in Computer Information Systems with a focus in Network Engineering.
I really wanted to go for programming as I had taught myself some in high school but heard that there were no jobs for programmers and instead of doing a lot of research I simply went for something else.
I now know that my degree means I can be the fanciest burger flipper at a McDonald's the world has ever seen.
So, I have taught myself two programming languages in my free time (Python and Java for those interested. {Side Note of a Side Note: If you're interested in that you need to get a life mine isn't that cool.}) which proved to me that programming is my passion and it's what I really want to do with my life and as such I have decided I am going to learn the gaming industry standard language C++.
I will then take this knowledge and make my own game (Title in progress. One step at a time guys.) with my friend and co-founder of this gaming studio Michael Reeves.
Basically the point of this blog will be to allow people to see the journey of going from someone who has very little real programming experience (Or a useful degree for that matter) to a full blown game programmer and by following a dream/calling that you can find a way to make it work.
I guess it's time to start Chasing Logic.

TLDR; Dude will start learning the toughest programming language and then he will use it to make games. Follow his dreams like in a bad Disney film.
