Bonjour and Welcome
$>
I am Nicolas. I am undefined years old. I´m interested in computer since I was seven years old. I started programming when I was 14. My preferred programming language for tasks including networking and or more complex operations is Java. For small scripts I mostly use BASH. For tasks that are not too easy to handle with BASH, I am using Python. At the moment I am trying to learn C, C++, and Fortran. I am studying IT-Security at the Ruhr-University-Bochum.
