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.

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 !

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.
