Zac Torkelson began investigating the joys of programming at the age of 10 and gradually intensified his interest. He soon learned Visual Basic 5.0, then Visual Basic 6.0, and C++. Zac then began using the Windows API extensively in his programs. Upon the arrival of the first .NET beta, Zac switched to Visual Basic .NET and C#.
