Age

Jeez, I was crwaling through the member listing when it hit me...you guys are all WAY older than me. I think the only one I saw who was even remotely close was David Wulff. But he's still 3 years older than me. (I'm 15 currently. Born in '86.) When I go to local Microsoft events, I'm always the youngest one there. No one even comes close. When I went to DevDays 2002, the MC had me stand up out of a room of at least 3 to 500 and said that he wished that he had been going to Microsoft events at my age. I don't know any other 15 year olds that program (some of my friends do HTML in FrontPage, but that's not really programming). Are there any other 15 year olds on CP?

I would be 13 :) And I don't just do web pages in FrontPage. I do Visual C++, .NET with C#, XML, XSLT, ASP.NET, and of course XHTML, CSS, and JScript.NET. Oh, and there was that game I made using DirectX 8.1, but that never got finished.

Well I'm 17.3 at the moment but I've been programming since age 11. Of course it wasn't any serious programming back then but that's when I started. Only in the past 6 months I really took the time to delve into Visual C++. It's not the age that counts though, it's your motivation and will power.

That was below the belt! :laugh: :laugh: This guy is young, he has a long way ahead before he needs to decide which field lures him most. Maybe he isn't interested in making games anymore, or maybe he wasn't ready for what he planned (or maybe he's a lazy bastard like me). I've been meaning to make a game for years, never had the knowledge to make a serious one. Only now I can really make this dream come true. Isaac Sasson, Small time programmer - complainer at large.

Well, yeh you're the youngest here IMO. I'm almost 18 and it's average here. Mosts are 20+ and there are older too. But, what do you care ? :-) - Dan "Intel inside - Idiot outside"
It's not that I care, I just noticed it. I like being able to talk to you guys and learn what you know. David Stone dstone@newcenturytitle.com "I am but mad north-northwest, when the wind is southerly I know a hawk from a handsaw." -Hamlet

I know someone who was doing very good C and TCL at age 12. He was also a very good unix user/admin. He is probably ~15-16 now and doing ASM. -Jack To an optimist the glass is half full. To a pessimist the glass is half empty. To a programmer the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Surely you jest. Are you 13?? Besides, XML isn't programming. Neither is CSS, XHTML, or XSLT. DirectX isn't a language. ASP.Net really isn't a language either because you can use other languages within it. So really, you know C++, C#, and JScript.net.

A lot of my pet projects or at home projects was stuff that was far more difficult then anything at work, and just working on it was fun. Completion would have been nice, but then another interesting project would appear. One of my "projects" was a solution to "Rubiks Cube", years later I found so many other people had been working on similar stuff, and had done so much better than me. Regardz Colin J Davies

I think everyone has a project or two that they didn't finish because they didn't find time, and it was outside the areas they needed to throw their energies into. Mine is a 3D Asteroids game. On that basis, I took this as a ( very funny ) dig at the Duke Nukem team and not at the guy who posted at all, because who *doesn't* have an unfinished project at home ?

Well, I'm easily old enough to be your father (and to many more around here). But I know of at least one person who's old enough to be your grand father.
