For Leftpondians, who never seem to understand clauses with that structure, that means "it worked, and I was surprised".

10 or so, was on a home assembled machine (my father did it), much like a C64.. In.. assembler, later started with BASICA on a Commodore PC 10
The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

I was 8, and it was Basic.
Right afterwards I started messing with Assembly.
Yes.
Weird kid.

11 years old. That was back in 1981, the machine was a Sinclair ZX 81 (massive 0.25kb of memory and no way to save programs - they had to be rekeyed each time).
|
|

|

You could hook up a cassette player (remember them?) and save/load it was horrible and noisy 
|
|
|
|

Yeah - never had on the ZX81 (it was a school machine - bought by the local authorities - one of two for the whole school) - but had one on the old Vic20 and CBM64 - 20 minutes to load a game and failed as often as not too!

Mmm the good old days, swapping tapes, praying for it to work, kids these days, online gaming mutter...

I think I was about 15 when I was messing around with Delphi 7. Made a nifty object color changer based off a timer once that same year. Did it for the kicks.
The first time I wrote serious coding was about 2011, when I was in college (Pseudocode, SQL and then C#).

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

A better question would be: Was anyone's first code not in a variant of BASIC, and is that a contributing factor in everyone thinking that BASIC is kids' stuff?

Don't knock C.
If you learn it well, you can piss all over Java experts -- in Java.
Once you understand what's happening with memory, the language/syntax is the easy bit.

Well said!
That's why i switched to assembly when i got bored of moving asterisks around.
I needed to outsmart my friends and move ALL of the characters on the screen.
Made a nice wheel of all of them.

I didn't knock C.
Why should I knock C? It's my first programming language learned.
And I'm so thankful to it. Learning C is my foundation on learning other languages.
is for myself.

8 or 9 years old, with Visual Basic (actually VBA in Excel). An uncle taught me about programming and we built a Tamagotchi-like thing together.
I'm 23 now
