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

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.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
I didn't knock C. Why should I knock C? It's my first programming language learned. And I'm so thankful to it. Learning C is my foundation on learning other languages. X| is for myself.

"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 Ha ha~~ :laugh: use Qbasic. for i = 1 to 10 print i next

I was nine when I made my first run of asterisks in a home made computer in school which I suspect had only two instructions, print and for loop. Then Apple was introduced and I went right away to make a programmatic animation, and to start writing the browser text flowing code; much of it went into paper, machine time was more important for games! :mad:

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

Still have my C64 complete with tape and 1541 Drive. I don't think it is still in working condition though cause it is stored.

In for a penny, In for a pound... 7 Years old (Circa 1979/1980), in sinclair Basic and Z80 Machine code on a sinclair ZX80. By 1981 I'd upgraded to the ZX81 and had a massive 16k Ram Expansion Pack on it :-) Didn't get serious though until mid 80 (Circa 10 yrs) by which time I had an Acorn Electron and a BBC Model B and was regularly writing for the magazine BBC Acorn User here in the UK

When I was 16, in high school I had access to the Tulsa University computer lab. My first coding was done in Fortran. That would have been in 1965!! And yes, I'm still coding! As long as there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll be doing it.

It was around 1980 too. No hard disk, no floppy disk, just a normal tape recorder. 1 kB of RAM on a 1 MHz zx81 with basic in ROM.

I was 12 when I wrote a BASIC program for friends that wanted a program to show people's biorhythms at a school festival. Alas, I haven't made much progress since then.

21, at university. And technically I didn't write it - I punched it into a punch card.

14 or so, started fiddling around with GWBASIC :)

12 years old, wrote my first bit of JavaScript. One of the first really great things I learned was the
forloop. I think my first use was something like:for (i=0; i<1000; i++) {
document.write(i);
}I was incredibly excited when I realized I could get my browser to print every number from 1 to 1000. I was even more excited when I realized that if I added enough zeroes, the browser would crash and die. And so began an interesting journey into breaking stuff...

Age 11, sixth grade, was when I was first exposed to BASIC. And I mean *really* *basic* BASIC. That was 1972, so we worked on TeleTypes with infinite rolls of Grade ZZZ paper and paper-tape punches to save our files. Later the school got a Linolex, which saved stuff on regular cassette tapes, then we got a Wang 2200, also with cassettes -- and a keyboard in alphabetical order!

Pretty sure that would have been 16 or 17, in 1973/74. Ah, the sound of of the paper tape reader on the TTY. That takes me back....
