I'm 15 turning 16 next week and I joined VBForums at the beginning of this year and I can happily say that I have increased my Programming knowledge 100 fold since I started. Until now I was not able to create programs for money because I lacked Knowledge and experience. I'm now developing an app that can bring in 10K USD for me And I know this is a fact., But I have decided to make the app opensource Instead. (I'm undercutting the opposition by Infinity you see.)
