I have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Southwest Baptist University and am an Oracle Certified Professional, Java SE 6 Programmer. I have been writing Java code since it was released in 1996 and have written some robots in Robocode when it was released as a IBM AlphaWorks download in 2001. At that time, I was working for Sprint as a Java developer and our team was preparing to hold a mini battle competition as a form of team building.
