I love listening to Audiobooks if I've already read the book. I find it great for rereading, because even if I loose attention in between, it is okay. I know the story, but I still get to enjoy it.
I don't know :) I did this 2 years back while I was in my college. Just thought about posting it in HN today. Why it is considered of interest, it is entirely up to the community.
One day, in our computer class, our teacher asked us to type what's written in one page of our book. We did it. At the end, she did something with the mouse and it started playing music. She said that we created it by programming in BASIC. That's how I got interested in programming.
Since then, I started loving BASIC. When I realized that the essence of programming relies on problem solving, I started to concentrate more on that. I grabbed all the resources I could, like textbooks and notes. Because my passion was to become a programmer.
