It was the starting of db-Pro Library for Clipper 5, with more than a hundred powerful routines I used when developing applications.Īfter that, I studied C and C++ by reading books and started to write a new library which make my development easier and faster than ever. After completing the course, I add more power in my routines by interfacing Clipper 5 with Assembly. He taught me the foundation to program in Assembly.
It was not easy, I rewrote all of my routines in Clipper 5 but it was fun! I found my lucky star when I enrolled to an Assembly class in Teknokom, the instructor was a well-known Assembly guru and author in Indonesia, Mr. I bought it and read the manual books, wow, I couldn't understand anything about the new feature of Clipper 5.0! Lucky me, I found several excellent Clipper books in the market and finally I understood a lot and I made a commitment to use Clipper 5.01 as my primary development language in 1992. After exploring FoxPro for some time, I found out it was not for me and Clipper 5.0 was released. In 1991, I was attracted with FoxPro 1.01 and started to migrate to it. After graduated from High School, I worked as a part-time programmer using dBASE III+ as the development environment, and Clipper Summer 87 as the compiler when we proceduced the final version of the applications. When I was in my final year in High School, I learned dBASE III+ programming and it was terrific! I learned something new, you know, in QuickBASIC it was quite difficult to create database applications but in dBASE III+, it was so different, very easy! Since then, I learned continually to improve my programming techniques by reading Alan Simpson's books. Although I didn't have computer at home, but I managed to practise using my schools' computer lab, because I worked as a volunteer assistant there. It was a pleasure time for me, trying to develop nice programs, including rewriting my previous macro with QuickBASIC. I managed to make a small application for my brother in Lotus 123 macro, then I was given a scholarship in LPK IKIN to study QuickBASIC. My interest in IT grew when I enrolled to DOS and Lotus 123 class in LPK Sentral Informatika - Semarang when I was 15 years old.
I have two brothers and two sisters, and I'm the youngest in the family. My parents and grandma were teachers, perhaps that's why I like teaching and writing articles/books very much.
