How old were you when you first wrote a line of code ?

"If A is a success in life, then A=x+y+z. (Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.)"

14. Year 1984. Wrote few games like Tic Tac Toe and a Payroll application in ROM Basic. It was on earliest PC that had no hard drive and everything was on a removable 8" floppy.

10-ish started with Logo and GW Basic

11. It was code inspired by the listings in the Commodore 64's User Manual. Great times. It was 1983.

16, I used C++ to write tic tac toe games and small menu driven applications...
Coding my dreams, compiling my future..

~10 to 12, Commodore 64. Nothing fancy, just very BASIC stuff...

11 years old. That was back in 1981, the machine was a Sinclair ZX 81 (massive 0.25kb of memory and no way to save programs - they had to be rekeyed each time).

10-ish. a Basic and/or Logo line of code.
I'd rather be phishing!
14. I remember writing pascal programs and running them on a floppy disk

I think I was about 15 when I was messing around with Delphi 7. Made a nifty object color changer based off a timer once that same year. Did it for the kicks. The first time I wrote serious coding was about 2011, when I was in college (Pseudocode, SQL and then C#).

10 - C64 - Assembly...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

A better question would be: Was anyone's first code not in a variant of BASIC, and is that a contributing factor in everyone thinking that BASIC is kids' stuff?

17, last year of high school in applied maths. Fortran prog to alphabetically sort a list of names. Bugger me if it didn't work :omg:

For Leftpondians, who never seem to understand clauses with that structure, that means "it worked, and I was surprised".

Don't knock C. If you learn it well, you can piss all over Java experts -- in Java. Once you understand what's happening with memory, the language/syntax is the easy bit.

8 or 9 years old, with Visual Basic (actually VBA in Excel). An uncle taught me about programming and we built a Tamagotchi-like thing together. I'm 23 now :)
