<<are you sure.
he was a programmer 10 yrs prior to your birth.&older than C++
>>> Are you sure?
Yes, absolutely certain. I was in my second year at Uni at the time. To save myself many hours of drawing statistical scatter diagrams, I followed up a suggestion from a Comp. Sci. student to let our Uni's mighty ICL 1904S mainframe, (60k main memory), draw them for me. I did, I was hooked.
>>> he was a programmer 10 yrs prior to your birth.&older than C++
Also true.
>>> Are you sure?
Your point?

Point: To clarify that you were not joking.

<only listing major languages>
Started with Java when I was 9 years old. Then when I was 11, after mastering Java, I learnt to VB6. Then I learnt Assembly to help VB6 out, C# and VB.NET. Then I learnt C++ 6 months ago, my all time favorite language.
What I'm proud of is that I learnt all the OOP techniques from the begining with Java. That way, all my programs are modular/OO instead of functional like most classmates in my C++ do. They basically do C. And in this new age, OOP is the way to go.
I'm 16 now so that'll be 7 years.

Under six months. Whenever I registered on this board which was late november so maybe right at six months not sure.
Started in 1992 with Sinclair Basic on a ZX Spektrum (64 k memory, no monitor, tape device, attached to TV).
Later on Pascal, then Assembly, then Assembly, and Assembly again :°) Just love ASM!
Then C, some CA-Visual Objects (forgotten, first(?) 4GL and probably first RAD tool).
Windows programming with Delphi, then Visual C++.
Professionally programming since 2000 A.D.

>> ...after mastering Java....
thats a pretty bold statement speedy5. Java is a huge language and it would take years of experience to become a "master" IMO. spenging 3 years with a language (especially age 9 -11) hardley seems like enough to have fully mastered a language like Java. but maybe its just me....
I started programming when I was 6 or so. (1987)
That means that I've been programming for two thirds of my life. Groovy...
Man, sometimes I miss that Sharp MZ-80. Tape drives ruled back then... I still got the manual. I also kept both Commodore 64 manuals.
Those were the days when you could understand a machine completely, inside out, software, hardware, EVERYTHING.
Sometimes I look at kids today, and I wonder...
Will I ever catch up?

"I honour they who seek to grok C"
Well ok. Maybe I didn't MASTER it because I'm completly oblivious in all the new security/crypt libraries. But I am fully aware on how to use all the packages from JDK 1.1 (reflection, streams, networks, events, controls, you name it) and how to use the graphics libraries (Java2D) and Swing in JDK 1.4. In those three years, I learnt OOP and read a several books on Java so I'll know what to do if you guys have me a task or whatever. But guess what: I don't really use Java anymore, since 2 years, so I really can't say that I'm a master at it. Sorry I guess.
howdy,
i've been trying to program for about a year now, i'll never be a programmer but it's a hell of a lot of fun as a hobbie.

I don't like you very much. Please post a lot less.

*and then*
No, I know you were joking. My point still stands.
I started programming when I was 13 (2 months before my 14th birthday), I'm 16 now.
I'm working as admin and as webdesigner to earn some extra money.
Started with HTML
JavaScript
CSS
Learned C++ (a half year later)
Started Perl programming (3 months later)
Learned PHP and SQL (a year ago)
Some Python, Delphi and Java
But I never learned Basic!!!
Yeah... Windows and Linux Programming
Apache, Network Administration........
Started to learn OpenGL 2 months ago.....
Currently interested in algorithms in C/C++ and OpenGL programming and of course networks and Linux!!!
