In this epsidoe of the How to Program with Java podcast, I talk with a self-taught programmer who has started up his own very successful marketing product based on his programming knowledge.  Troy was graduated with a degree that would have had him working as an audio engineer, but instead took a 180 and pursued his passion for tech and programming.  Now he's the big cheese (CTO) and living the dream.  Find out how he did it, and how YOU too can do it on this great podcast interview.
