I'm an average 19 (20 this year). Still young, right? Started programming when I was 17.
I just remembered! I got excited when my cout statement worked its magic. Good times.

I dont think logart is 12. Unless you can find some proof or he confirms it. I remember a thread he made before about a text based rpg and on his skype i think it said he was 16
EDIT: @CodeMonkey: Do you make a living off of programming or do you do it just like on the side?

I'm 24 and have been programming for quite some time now... I'm still not very good at it (as I'm quite lazy), but I always feels good when I see kids getting into Software Development.
I always hoped my little brothers would pick it up, but I fear they're still too young. :D

19 here, I'll turn 20 on 4/20 (I always get a kick out of my birthday, I'm friends with a few tokers). Also I started feebly programming trivial and stupid things when I was about 15. :B
I started wanted to make games when i was like 9 but i couldnt understand code :(. I tried reading online tutorials but it was too difficult and so i forgot about it. when i was nearing 13 i remembered and started trying to learn again. About 1 year ago i started gettings books on c++.

The biggest problem for me when I was young and reading programming books was perseverance. The deeper you get into programming (as with any other profession) the harder it gets, you have to keep pushing yourself to do more! This is probably my only regret really, I really wish I had spent more time programming when I was younger. If I had been consistent I'd probably have written the source code for skynet ;).
But I digress, in short what I mean to say it work hard and don't get discouraged!

I've been a profesional programer for the past 15 year or so. I have not concentrated on any particular language or technology. For the past five years I have been doing projects in C# but have decided to come back to C++, on the side, with the advent of C++11.

| But what do you do CodeMonkey? Do you write programs for companies or something? |
That is a hard question to answer. I work for a small company, some projects form parts of the products the company offers (some embedded system work, drivers, applications), Then there are projects to intergrate internal system and other System admin stuff.

I have 3 years on CodeMonkey... That is, 46.
Currently "between jobs", which is why I've the time to look at a wider range of forums than usual.

I got my first professional position in 1993. But I began coding at 13 or 14 (it was either side of my 14th birthday).
The beginning was the Apple II followed by the BBC Micro (BASIC programs, culiminating in peek/poke graphic games, plus a bit of 6502 assembly).
I then learnt Pascal and Fortran (I trained in physics to start with, which included a computing component). The Pascal became Turbo and then Object Pascal, which taught me OO methodologies and made the move to C++ a lot easier than it might have been (C pointers were harder to learn than the object side of things).
My first job used C for legacy code, C++ for new development, and BASIC (Test BASIC) for testing. C++ is still my primary language, but I know others including Python and C#.

wow, honestly i hope to lead a career similar to yours. Im also thinking about making C++ my primary language. And i have a comfortable understanding with Python...however C# is still pretty foreign to me
