How old are you, and when did you learn programming.

**ammar** · 12-09-2002

**Polymorphic OOP** · 12-09-2002

***kermi3*** · 12-09-2002

I started logowriter in 3rd grade, not seriously though, learned a little more in 4th, and by 5th grade we had functions, loops, if statements, the whole nine yards. The only thing that I'm not sure if we did was input. Well maybe we did, it's been a while.

And yes I still contend that Logowriter is a language!!!! And for those of you who don't think so, I started Basic in 4th, and Pascal in 8th.

pretty much said screw that and went on to learn c++, now im much happier

**adamviper** · 12-09-2002

i was 16 in 10th grade when i started c++ and started pascal at 17.

**Necrodeemer** · 12-09-2002

Started on C at 15, left it for C++, just got an assembly book. :->

Taken up a course in C++, as in Kent, UK, not many schools do courses purely on programming. I don't count VB as true programming. As it can't be used outside of Excel.

I'm 16 and I started programming last year.

**deathstryke** · 12-09-2002

I might as well call myself 17, my bday is the 31st

**bob20** · 12-09-2002

**MadHatter** · 12-09-2002

16.. sort of started when i was.. 12? maybe 13... but i didn't get serious about it til i was 14 and a half, or something. and just started c++ earlier this year.

**Eibro** · 12-09-2002

Started C++ like a month ago. I spent about a year wandering through the procedural side of C++ thinking I knew "C++". Make sense?

**vasanth** · 12-09-2002

I'm 18 now, started programming when I was 4, doing BASIC on the Atari 65XE w/ tape recorder (Yes, one of THOSE

). Back then, a 512KB SIMM cost nearly £200! Learnt VB when I was 10. After finally getting to grips with it, I was disgusted by its rampant difficulty in dealing with the Windows API and started dabbling in C (In DOS, initially, didn't have any win32 libraries).

Virtually stopped programming completely when I was 13, as it was messing with my head and my grades in school were fubar. Two years later I was happily reunited and amazed at how much better I understood what I was writing by simply taking a step back and analysing how it ticks.

It's one relationship in my life that's still going strong

**adrianxw** · 12-09-2002

45. Began programming in 1977.

**XSquared** · 12-09-2002

I started with Basic when I was 9. I'm turning 16 on the 31st.
