Well I do feel old (pretty shocking considering I'v just turned 24!)

I guess I learnt Locomotive Basic (on a CPC6128) at the age of 10 or 11. I then promptly forgot all of it when I went to Secondary school! The lack of an instant programming interface for AmigaOS may have had something to do with it!

At uni (20-23) I got to writing macro's in Excel to do the complex stats (Excel had the sums built in but Marine Biology used them a little differently). I got a job as an admin and wrote more macro's to help me (and other people).

Just recently I have changed jobs (still an admin though) and in my second month wrote a an app for the company in VB5 and Acc97 that has on estimate saved them 150k plus.

Further to this I have just been told that I'm being promoted and so now will actually get paid to write things in VB!!!!!!!

So to sum up I have been into programmin since 11.
