Java - Learning it at uni right now. [beginner - intermediate skill level].
My first language is QBASIC during my Highschool age, now HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, ASP, VB (favorite) but still to wants learn more...hehehe, can somebody sends me through email "sample-tips in VB?"hehehe. [email protected]
No wonder vb is your favourite, you haven't really learned any good languages (maybe with the exception of ASP, which is decent). Java is quite a nice language, good for learning before C++, C or C#.Quote:

I'm 13
I'm 14 and I began with QBasic at the age of 9, then Turbo pascal - 10, VB6 - about 11, VB.net 2003 - 13, and VB 2005 nearly as it come out - also 13. Anyway I don't make money because I can never finish my project! :p
Forgot about Java and J2ME :P I will never learn C++, you may laugh at me but I don't like unmanaged languages where you must care about everything!

How bout me?
I'm not a teenager when I started programming.
I started on BATCH programming and QBasic when I was 9yrs old.
The 1st time I was get paid is when I was 12 yrs old, a simple HTML page asked by a college student.
Then I learned Turbo Basic, Turbo Pascal, Java, Turbo C/C++, VB6.0/.NET2003/2005, VBScript, ASP.NET2005, C#, Flash.
I used what I learned to earn money and finish my study.
Now I'm re-studying Java and I want to start on PHP.
Pls help me.
Im 15, started programming on my palm pda using SmallBasic when I was 12 or 13, then I moved up to pc and learned VB and QBasic. Havent made any money yet, maybe sometime soon :)
not a teenager but i did Basic Programming in DOS back in 1986 when i was a teenager .. :D
then took up vbscript for ASP from 1996 till a couple years ago when i started VB6 .. but really didnt get into VB6 until last summer 100% :wave:
PS no, i got .net but am not going to waste my time with that right now .. its all about making a living for now .. :afrog:
also, this thread is like 7 years old .. the first posters are probably grand daddies by now
I'm 15, I know a tiny bit of VB, quite a bit of Actionscript, and a bit of HTML.
17, and still worse than penagate.
I cry.
chem
My first program was in BASICA when I was 13. It was a version of Hello World. :lol:
I started learning HTML when I was 16.
heh, this thread makes me feel old...
i started out at 14 learning html and javascript, then learned the wonders of perl. since then i've learned c, c++ (to some extent), vb, java, bash and a half dozen less well known langs. since i havent used vb in a while, im having to re-learn it again :o
I'm 16 and started off in VB6 about 7 months ago. I'm sure I could make money off my programs, but since I'm not dieing for money @ the moment, I make all my prog.s freeware ;) check out one of my better programs @ www.MyOhCrapButton.tk
EDIT: not supporting anymore - I've moved on
I'm 17 now and I have made money (and other payments - e.g. cookies) for a few programs. Most of mine are just freely distributed in my school because they're workarounds for irritating blocking systems they use ;Þ (e.g. LanSchool, restriced disk access, etc)
One of them I could turn into a steady income because if I charged my friend's parents for each bug-fix and then charged my friend for each workaround I give her to bypass it, I'd be rich in no time! ;Þ
The rest are for personal stuff.
Ahhh...this thread brings back memories. It includes my first ever post somewhere in there.
I'm 15 and got a good understanding of programming in vb.NET. i've made some money by selling a few of my apps to people on floppy.
I pray the people i sold them to had the .NET FW(!)
Now I am 30, but I have started coding when I was 11. It was Sincleir BASIC on ZX-SPECTRUM
Hi all ^^ I'm 15, studying Multimedia and Infocomm Technology, specializing in integrated web systems and solutions. I've learnt ActionScript, ASP, C, C++, HTML, Java, JavaScript, JSP, OO, PHP, Ruby, SMIL, SQL, XHTML, XML, XSLT..
Currently attached to a company as a system developer.
I notice that most programmers are males =X
Hi ... so you're 15 and you are not in school? You said you are attached to a company ... also, you dont just learn a language, well i dont know about Php and some of the others (most of them arent programming languages), but with ASP it takes years to know it inside and out.Quote:

15, started vb6 and starting with .net and c# right now
thanks mendhak,
I wouldnt have known, they only had DOS when i was 15 .. :D
haha yar i know.. some of them are scriptings.. or whatever u call them.. I'm still studying.. just that I'm having industrial attachment now. In my school, we were made to learn the various languages, but only the basic. I agree with u that it takes years to master ASP.. that's why i prefer PHP to ASP haha =XQuote:

It takes years, and dedication, to master programming.
True .. well good luck .. you got an early start on a good career. . :thumb:Quote:

I am 15...
I started with a program called "Game Maker" in 2003.
I wanted to try something new, so I tried Visual Basic.
So I am using Visual Basic for apps, and Game Maker for games... Mostly.
You can create apps with Game Maker though.
Well the real start was .bat files... :P
Lads, bit of advice. Get a LIFE!!! Programming can be done later in life when you are too old to have a life, go outside and get some fresh air/exercise or you'll end up like most of the Americans....obese :D
they should be checkin chicks and ting .... :afrog:
I started with vb3 when I was 23...
I with vb 6.0 when i was 20 not vs.net :wave:Quote:

I started programming on my dads old casio PB-7100 in about 2002, from there moved on to QBasic and eventually got VB6. I now mostly use VB.NET :cool:
I have also been learning Java, C#, C++ :rolleyes:
I reckon if you want to make big money:
You should keep your eyes WIDE open for what's hot, so that with your imagination(a programmers strong point) you can always be a few steps ahead
Keep up to date with the latest programming languages, and let your friends know that you're an expert programmer, so that they can let you know of any opportunities they hear of.
Otherwise what can you do besides be extraordinarily creative or find a part time job. hahaha :)
Hi, i'm Miguel from Argentina and i'm new around here.
I'm currently 25 years old, but i first started programming back in 1992 when i was 11. I found a book about algorithms in my school library and started programming with an old 286 mostly GWBasic and some DOS batch scripts. I never made a single buck (or should i say peso ;), but it was something fun to do in rainy days.
Now i'm a full time programmer and i work almost with any language it's needed.
PS: forgive me if my english is bad
Hah... that won't make you more money, that will make you someone else's doorstep.Quote:

god, im 16 goin on 17, n im the second best at programming in my school. I feel so retarded now im readin everyone elses skills haha, awel, Its all VB6 for me!
I am 15 and i am the best programmer in my house. maybe on my block!
I'm the best programmer in my room. ;)
I am a 16 year old programmer.
i know xml, html/xhtml, alot of Css (if you class them)... i know the basics of languages suchs as php, JS, c++, CGI/Perl and some other things but nothing really major in them areas, i have been trying to improve my CGI/perl and also C++ but i mainly program VB, at the moment its probably my best language.
i recently completed my first ever job for someone (which got me some money) but i mainly program my own things for fun.
GET A LIFE! :rolleyes:
You're jealous.Quote:

Then I found out I knew nothing, it all went down the drain, I had to relearn, not how to use a language but how to code in a real environment, with other programmers and by spec. Its a very diffferent beast.
i always program from the start when making my own apps using the standards for the code such as indenting etc, the ones i mentioned i know are ones i have been working on for nething from 2-5 years :)
