I was hired on as tech support for some PowerBuilder app at this small
company.  It turns out they wanted to convert the PowerBuilder thing to a
web-based app.  I knew about databases and had messed with web stuff for a
few years before that, so one day the boss plopped version 4.0 on my desk
and said "Learn this."  I said "... ok!".  It was an interesting time.  Best
bit of luck I ever had.

The first time I got CF to connect to a database and spit something out on
the screen, and all of the possibilities hit me at once, well, I thought
that was the coolest thing I had ever seen in my life.  I've been having fun
ever since :)
