I want to be a professional programmer!!!
I want to make games, either professionally or otherwise.
I am not sure why, it gives me something to do.
Other (post reason)...

I just love to program...

I don't quite know why i program either, but I'm only 14, and yet I already know BASIC, C/C++, Mainframe Assembler (and PC/370), JAVA, HTML, and COBOL.

Ok, I am going to comit mass murder if another person younger then me knows everything.

Okay sean where do you find the time to learn all this stuff. Im 14 turning 15 in a few months and im still strugaling with C++ (I've learned the language but DX is giving me trouble). I guess i could have started earlier though.
To be a programmer some day... better learn c++!!

All these young programmers!
Geez, I am twice their age and a half as competent!
Truly depressing.
I myself picked up programming because, believe it or not, I was just half-curious! Now what once seemed to be a boring nerdy endeavor has become my obsession! My family has even taken to calling me "The Hermit" because of it! But no matter. I love it.
As far as working for someone, I have little interest. After all, why write programs that others own?!! Yuck.
My dream is to start my own profitable software company.
Code:#include <cmath> #include <complex> bool euler_flip(bool value) { return std::pow ( std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), std::complex<float>(0, 1) * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0) *(1 << (value + 2))) ).real() < 0; }
i'm 15 and i know BASIC, PASCAL, and C++... that's it. I haven't wasted the time on java because it would be, just that, a waste of time.
Programming rules, end of story.
Okay, I'm 15 and I know (in no specific order) C, Visual Basic, VBScript, HTML (which everybody knows), BASIC. Of course, C is the only language that has given me a valiant challenge. And now I'm learning Windows programming (from petzold) and it is so hard it should be considered another language.

Really, it was a peice of cake for me, and I understood almost all off it.

Yeah, it is going well for me. I like it a lot.

I choosed C programming as a subject at uni (Naval Architecture). I've always enjoyed computers and my father is a programmer since I was ..... (I don't know how old I was, but our PC run at 4.7 MHz).
Even I haven't worked as a programmer, it has been helpful to have basic knowledge when I've been working at a Naval Architecture office. As soon as you use stability software (DOS) it's very helpful to know some programmimg.
If I ever have enough knowledge, I'd enjoy working as a programmer.
ok, I am 17, I know BASIC and VB, HTML, and C, If I do not know anymore is because I don't need it, and if I need it, I would learn in less than three weeks (in the worst case), I do not think that you are a better programmer if you know more languages, if you are an excellent BASIC programmer, for sure you could be an excellent C programmer, it is more interesting and intelligent to learn new algorithms, you can apply that knowledge in any platform, in any language, it is a better way of employing time, and it would be more useful if you get a real job.
take as an another post:
does computer science worth the try?
I really do not know if I really want to study that, is there a way to know that?, university is at hand, for sure in january of next year I will start, but I am not sure, what do you think?

no, life is nice, just a girl fooling around, alcohol fixes everything.
OH, I now have a High School Diploma and need of ron (drink)

Camilo... look at the universities classes in CS. Talk to people studying CS at those uni's, and to people that have already finished.
I think that will certainly help you decide.
As for me. I'm definately studying CS. It's the only way i can possibly catch up with this genius 15 year olds that seem to be popping up everywhere!
AAHH! like someone said earlier in the thread: "depressing"
adios,
biterman.
Do you know how contemptous they are of you?
