I'm not really a member of the team, but I am glad to see new people coming to the community and learning skills like this. Whether it's Perl, C++, or SQL, they're all transferable knowledge that can be used for many, many other things. The knowledge I have learned here has helped me build my own website, learn how to troubleshoot applications I build, and manage my own database. Keep in mind I still have a lot of time ahead of me, being I'm only 19, so what I already know from just doing it for fun is absolutely amazing. It's always nice to see that people have a drive to learn and are willing to do something new and difficult just because they enjoy the game that they're doing it for.
