when did you start writing programs, websites, etc. ?

hi i wanna know when u startet programming? and i wanna know who was the youngest i will post later my dates peter
I started programming in BASIC on a TRS-80 (1979/80). It was upgraded to 16K RAM. :cool: I was 9 or 10 yrs. old. I remember going to a 1 week computer camp during the summer with my brother. (geez what a bunch of dorks) :rolleyes:

I think my first program not typed in from the book was something to count to a million, so I left it for a couple of hours running (with the black and white TV I had it plugged into off, naturally), and came back to find it had only reached 50,000 or something, so I switched it off :-D Followed that up with an Amstrad CPC 6128 a couple of years later (I would have been 10, IIRC), which used Locomotive BASIC (1.1! With the new ORIGIN keyword!), along with LOGO running in a CPM environment you could boot the machine with (I wished the manual had a better guide to CPM). There was also a dismal attempt to learn Z80 Assembler :-) What did nark me off was that I almost never got to use the computers at school at that age (or at least, it seemed to me I got to use them much less than the other kids) - I had to specifically go and ask to use the BBC Micro at lunchtimes and used some books I found in the library to draw shapes on the screen in BBC BASIC (which was of course, subtly different to the two BASICs I had already learned) I also tried my hand at designing my own languages around then too - so you could write games using constructs like "MOVE SPACESHIP UP" and "PLAY TUNE".

in the year 2000 I was 11 years old. and I began with C but then I used QBasic(Quick Baisc) and now I am back to (ISO)C++ and C# scio me nihil scire My OpenSource(zlib/libpng License) Engine: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rendertech Its incurable, its a Pentium division failure.

hi u are also at www.programmiererboard.de, aren't u? p.s.: is 'scio me nihil scire' a quote or did u write it? if its not a quote i would but scio at the end, so it's real latin how u find it in old books the verbum is in latin at the end, normally, but in fact, u can put it everywhere u want

yes, I am from p.de ps: scio me nihil scire is latin and it means: I know, that I know nothing Verb: yes, but i've learned this sentence so in school ;) scio me nihil scire My OpenSource(zlib/libpng License) Engine: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rendertech Its incurable, its a Pentium division failure.

i knew it means 'I know I know nothing' (in english also exist the AcI-Construct (AcI - Acusativum cum Infinitivum) i learned it so ;) does anyone else wants to share with us his/her start of writing programs

I'm learning French, and I really like it! :) But tell me more about this special programming school!
its called HTL(Höhere Technische Lehranstalt = Higher Technical School)(http://www.htl-vil.ac.at/) it goes over 5 years and then you get a school-leaving examination (called Matura) you learn afaik C,Cobol(Zix),C++,C# and Java.

1974, in FORTRAN II, at age 19.:) But I had to wait until 1975 to run it, as there were no computers available outside of major corporations and Universities. At the time, that was probably the youngest possible age to learn, as the book I learned from was in the part of the library restricted to adults.

Of course, we didn't have Windows, pointers, references, handles, message maps, and GUIs to contend with...:sigh: "Another day done - All targets met; all systems fully operational; all customers satisfied; all staff keen and well motivated; all pigs fed and ready to fly" - Jennie A.
