i was 2 years old when i started to program my dads old Commodore 64 machine. i made my own scrensaver when i was about 5. coded purely by hand, i think it was in BASIC, but im not sure. so i cant tell what it was. then i decided to hook my sega up to the computer and i accidnetly fried it oh well, we got a Dexton Computers computer equipped with 95 for free from my dads work!

I'm not quite sure, but I believe I was 13. I said thirteen because that was when I started developing an interest in programming, started VB3, but then I laid back for a while, then I got back into it with my c++ class my second semester of junior year. now my interest is growing, and i am most likely going to major in computer engineering. hehe, if i could, i would only take three classes for my last semester of high school, ap calc, ap physics, and apcs. but i need the credits of five.
I always wanted to be a programmer. I grew up on the King's Quest series. King's Quest 1 taught me to read and write -- it's one of my earliest memories. Ever since then I wanted to program games, which is kind of funny considering I didn't actually start programming until last year.
same with me except poly's a year older than me (I think) which sucks because you would expect him to have 5 years or more on me judging skill levelEver since then I wanted to program games, which is kind of funny considering I didn't actually start programming until last year.
Well I didnt really start liking programming until last year when I started Comp Sci. I didnt really have any prior programming knowledge, but I have learned a great deal, and its been a great experience.
So for the record 20.
I guess you can say this about a lot of careers. The more you study, the more you realize how much you dont know.

I started into HTML at 10. After awhile when I got HTML figured out pretty damn good, I found this big thing I wanted to do was to make "cool computer programs" so I searched google and found a bunch of sites, and found out I had to use some extraterrestrial device called a "compiler" and some weird geeky code that had lots of math in it to make "cool computer programs".
After realizing this, I decided not to start learning, and 2 years later, as a teenager who could manipulate numbers better than an 11-year-old found a miraculous website called cprogramming with lots of neat tutorials and cool people that would help me with my problems. I stayed with them for about 6 months, and I am still with them, watching, learning, and being a computer programmer.
Well, thats my story, and I hope you enjoyed reading it. I have more of my nutty cprog antics if you wanna PM me, lol. You may also buy my book, which contains lots of dumb computer things i've done for only $69.95! Call 1-800-this-number-is-fake and order today!

either 8-9 bielive it or not (yeah us cool anti socials get head starts on these things )
i was 14 when i wanted to start.
I started the summer of my 15th year of life.
well, I guess if you include html, my programming has been ongoing since about 11 or 12. but i always included html as web design and not programming.
Wow, three polls in a row
vote 12
I am against the teaching of evolution in schools. I am also against widespread
literacy and the refrigeration of food.
I started when I was 22 ..
I know it was late.......

I started when I was 6.
Did some wiring on some crap (set included how to make cheap transistor radios, lcd displays, etc), then I wanted to know how dad wired stuff that moved (he did machines for automation). Basically he told me that it wasn't just wired, it used something called a microcontroller, just like the 386 we had, only smaller and faster. He taught me how to code ladder logic (if power gets to here, turn this on, do a timer here, do this that and the other thing, cycle again). I didn't touch it for years after that, got into html at 14, then I've moved on since then, i've got about 6 languages squarely under my belt, some others I can just toy around with. And recently I've gotten back into ladder logic for work, taking some of the load off of dad.
PHP and XML
Let's talk about SAX
dont know how old i was.
did some vb 5.0 my sophmore year in high school.
maybe it was my junior year.
i learned basic, html, and java on my own.
guess maybe 15 or 16.

2 and a half years old. Of course, all I could do back then was cobol and assembly.
