10 years old, started with GWBASIC, then a Little bit of DBASEIV (11 years old) and a while after that I started with C (11..12 years old) and of course C++ (13 years old)...
Now I'm in robotics and automation in general therefore I'm using Visual C++, HTML, PHP and specific languages to program machines (CNC, PLC and robots).

I had just turned 16, it was the 31st of May, 1975 when I wrote my first program (in assembler) and sent it off over the teletype to the mainframe at Manchester University - the following day I got the results back - it worked! The answer was 4.

I was 26, just out of the Air Force in 1965, working as a tech in manufacturing for GE, I coded on a coding pad in actual machine language, key punched the program in a Hollerith card (multi-punched 12 bits per column, three columns per instruction word - 36 bit words, 4 9 bit bytes per word - on an IBM 029 card punch), then booted the card into the GE 600 system in single step mode, and stepped through the program to verify a failing loop, then ran the program in loop mode and started scoping the wiring.

You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

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!
