Linking: Introduction

Hello, it's me. I was wondering if you would like to meet.

My name is Julio, but everyone else calls me Julay or Jalay. I am 22 years old, currently enrolled in the 8th semester of Engineering in Computer Science. I have liked computers ever since I was a kid. As I got older and understood that all programs and applications were code that had to be translated into a language that a computer could understand, I wondered: How was the first computer program run? Was it translated by hand into bits? Was it mechanical? Or perhaps magic?

Now I know a little bit more about how compilers work and how they manage to turn a bunch of words into bytes that can do pretty much anything inside a computer such as the linking process. But I would love to learn more. This would give me the chance to make my own language and have some fun with it. That is my final goal for this class.

Some of my hobbies are to play videogames and watch movies. I am also a very spiritual person, I like to practice yoga an tai chi. My favorite videogame is Mass Effect 2 and my favorite movie is Big Fish. I like to program in Python, JavaScript and C#.

PS: If anyone else reads this besides the teacher, I will smash your computer :)
