If memory serves it was around when I was 7 or 8 years old.
I had a windows 7 and a xp machine and my uncle(Lead Animator and game designer) taught me about animation later Flash Games and I picked this up there.

I was 8 yo, coding BASIC and LOGO on Thomson TO7 : there were even books about generative art (which was called like that) : you had to manually copy code from paper to keyboard : that was amazing !

I started at 26.
Of course I had commodore 64 when I was a kid and then an old IBM and had some classes in high school where we studied a bit of pascal and lotus123. But I never got into coding. After a sabbatical I wanted to switch career and almost by chance I enrolled to a 6 months full-time course about web development for HTML and Flash Websites.
It was hard, and of course I was the oldest, as I am basically in every team I go, but I worked hard and after almost 20 years I can say it worked out pretty well and was the best choice of my life.
Never let you put off by your age or formal education.

Hello, World! I'm jzombie, a passionate software developer with a knack for problem-solving and a love for open-source. I believe in the power of code to change the world and make our lives easier.
Same here, except I was about 7 or 8. The first fully functional program I wrote was a roulette game that was saved on an external cassette tape recorder.

I think I was around 15. I was in gaming clans and somebody showed me how to properly FTP to make sites and stuff and I got hooked into making html/js sites.

It was 2016 when I am also 16 years old and just enrolled in a local computer classes to learn basics of computer. After completing that course my teachers suggested me to do the Web development course and I have started and now I am a senior developer 😇
👋 Hi there! I'm a versatile tech professional with 5+ years of experience working as a Project Manager, Full Stack Software Engineer, Quality Assurance Engineer, and UI/UX Designer.
23-24 (around 2006-2007), I bought my first PC with my own money and started with Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Unreal GOTY, Half-Life and the programming/development.
I was around 9 or 10. Wrote a basic program in C. Also started writing flash Action Script 2 around that time, which got me really excited about programming, since it was visual and interactive.
I'm a coder who has worn a lot of hats, from individual contributor to lead engineer to "CTO" (yes, in quotes, make of that what you will!). I've plenty to learn and hopefully some to share as well.
First experience at the age of 11. I built a simple "Who wants to be a millionaire" game on a VTech learning computer. Regular programming since I was 16 (game development, C++, OpenGL).

Wow great 👍
7 years old - way back in 1983. Writing code in BASIC on the ZX Spectrum 48K

Too fast 😜
Indeed, indeed... XD

I was 10 yo when my dad (who is a software engineer) told me about html, I used to make websites whole day 😂
Cool 😎
I started learning BASIC on a Tandy TRS-80 connected to my TV when I was 5 or 6 years old.
Same here, except I was about 7 or 8. The first fully functional program I wrote was a roulette game that was saved on an external cassette tape recorder.
The tape recorder utilized for programming storage was so interesting to me.

I was 21. Today, 10 years later, I work as a Senior Software Engineer at Spotify. It's never too late to learn!
I started coding at my age 19, After completing my Advanced Level exams. 🙃

I started at like 12ish using scratch but I took it seriously about the end of my first term of freshman year of college
I've started when I was 14 during high school first year (in Italy high school starts at the age of 14).
I started when I was 15 I think, maybe 14.
First experience at the age of 11. I built a simple "Who wants to be a millionaire" game on a VTech learning computer. Regular programming since I was 16 (game development, C++, OpenGL).
I was 10 when I started learning Python.
I was 21 years old 😉 and now I'm 26
I was 26.
I was 16 too, I started with Visual Basic 😁
I think I did some C++ when I was around 14 and a bit later a lot of basic on my Ti-84+ Calculator.
I was 13. I wanted to understand a cheat program that was written in Autoit. It didn’t understand it but that ignited the spark I guess.
16 😄✋
I was 12 when I enrolled in a local computer class and started learling C ,C++ and Core Java.
Wow alot of people began pretty early making me wish i started early as well. My coding started at the age of 18.
Same as you, 16😅
I started at 40
Comecei aos 12 com arduíno, por curiosidade após jogar Minecraft, atualmente estou com 17
at the age of 39. Don’t @ me 🫣
