You're welcome!
The idea is to simplify writing basic Reads/Writes for simple Scala structures. In this way, you can focus on writing more complex JSON validation/transformation when you need it... For JSON coast-to-coast design that I introduced in previous article, this is quite useful!
I started with 12, stealing html & javascript from other sites. I played around with Flash some time, but then started coding in PHP with 14 or something. Never stopped since then.
I'm 21 now and I have a web development company since last year based in Buenos Aires (Argentina).
Pretty cool how the dots connect when you look back in time!
