Welcome to AwFuL, Jr. Productions

Creating quality office applications, web applications, and games.

AwFuL, Jr Proctions has been in existance unofficially since the mid to late 1980's. It all began with a Tandy TRS-80 Model III computer. That was a one-piece system; the monitor, keyboard, and two 5.25" (yes, 5.25" and two of them) floppy drives were all one large, heavy piece of machine. The language was Basic. No, not Visual Basic . . . not even QBasic! The wonderful language of spaghetti code: line numbers, GOTO statements, GOSUB statements, and the whole lot.

So, what's in a name? It was something that I came up with as that pre-teen boy, copying and editing those programs I could find in some old computer magazines. After a bit, I began creating some basic ones of my own. I thought that it would be cool to come up with a "company name." My inititals AFL, the fact that I am a junior, and the fact that I thought my programs were crap and . . . BANG . . . AwFuL, Jr. Productions was created. So, a silly name (probably not the best for marketing) is kept? Why not?!?!?!?

Since then, I have learned several more (and better) programming languages:

Perl -- My Favorite
wxWidgets -- a C++ add-on for cross-platform development. Very nice.
C++ -- Another Powerful Language
HTML -- Not Really A Programming Language
JavaScript -- Nice For Adding Bells And Whistles To An HTML Document
Visual Basic -- Easy M$ Windows GUI Creator, Weak Back-end Language

Thus, my programs have improved (at least some think so) and have become more enjoyable to create. I hope that you can enjoy them as well.

I have recently created a group on Yahoo! for AwFuL, Jr. Productions. Feel free to join and contribute.
