My Personal Manifesto of Software Engineering

Languages

Besides my native language, German, i speak English fluently. A basic education in Latin allows me to interpret most Romanic languages in writing; using dictionaries i can work with natural wording in French, Italian and Spanish.

I have written source code, in C, C++, Java, Javascript, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, TCL, Visual Basic and other programming languages. I never let myself be confined to a specific programming language, because i consider them tools, and i want to choose the right tool for the job, which is not neccessarily the tool i personally feel most comfortable with.
