The categories are mislabeled.
I count as a "quiteso-seasoned", yet I have not yet had call to build a single binary tree or write my own quicksort. And I've been too lazy to experiment w/ that stuff until recently..

well then! i guess my make-shift demographic serves the bell shaped curve... [that was a side-interest of this... a sneaky test... ] to say, i'm part of the 2 to 5 year group as well... (which end of that subgroup, i'll let you decide...) thanks! wow, you all love me... hehe... Rock the Vote!

I'm in the 7 months to 2 years group, simply because this is my first computer and I got it in mid-December 1999, so I haven't even had it for two years. I learned a lot of HTML before January, learned JavaScript in January, then spent several months learning more about how computers work rather than learning programming. Shortly after that, I fell into a horrible cycle of playing crappy online games, chatting, and downloading stuff from Napster. Since I only had a 56k modem then, downloads took so long that I had no time for anything else. My first step in rehabilitating myself was meeting a guy on IRC who told me about programming and how video games are made. I didn't understand all of it, but I was set on the path to programming. That was short-lived, as I soon began wasting my time playing Graal and using RPGMaker 2000. I later found a link to DarkBASIC's site, and was sucked into that as well. It's hideous, I know, but it counts as programming. I was finally set back on track when my dad began taking classes in Visual Basic early this year and bought Visual Studio 6.0 Professional Edition. I started to use Visual C++ around February of this year, I think.
So that's about six months of C++ experience with some experience in other languages.
3 and a half years of programming here total, but im still quite young (havnt even finished middle school )
I've done bintrees, but I've got sorting algorithms next in my programming subject at uni.I count as a "quiteso-seasoned", yet I have not yet had call to build a single binary tree or write my own quicksort. And I've been too lazy to experiment w/ that stuff until recently..
Oh well, I only count as a freshie (I think it'll be a year come september, for some odd reason) but I've been concentrating on C that whole time (I don't count my QBasic days as programming ), so I'm quite a lot better (I hope...) than you might expect a normal freshie to be.
