Commercial experience, none. I got my very first job first year into my university. Basically front desk at internet Cafe but also involved networking and Linux security. Before that I had about a year writing game cheats in assembly during high school and some basic c++.
Same job got me started in basic web development and following that landed my first gig as a webdev

Well, i never did any serious work, just basic cheating tools, mainly modifying memory locations for running games or altering saved games just before disk writes. Simpler times back then :) it helped a lot in college though
