I’d pin it at around 12, and it was HTML.
Maybe not as programmy a language, but my intro was geocities and it’s not too different from what I’m still doing.
It was about 2 years ago, I was 16. I wrote my first line of code in the Wordpress sidebar editor. I needed some custom CSS, so I changed the line-height. And now here we are 😂
Basic, around 7-8 years old.
I write my first line of Basic code when I was 13 on a Amstrad cpc 464 ... 35 years ago 🤯
9 years old. I coded Basic on a RadioShack Tandy 2000
I think I was around 12 years old (~1982) when I wrote my first basic program. On paper. Yes, paper. I got infected with the programming virus by a book of a friend of my parents. They had a commodore 64 with a book that belonged to it, with instructions on how to program in basic. I just loved it and started to write my own program on paper. Later - in school - I programmed on a TRS-80 system and even later I got my own MSX computer. Today I am still programming. And I still love it. Even after almost 40 years.
Commodore 64 is such a legendary machine.
I remember that book! 😊
Same language as I used :)
We had TRS-80 computers at school too, in third grade computer class! We'd sit two or three at a computer and type in programs that the teacher handed us.
I think I was like 11 years old. During a vacation in sweden, my father started teaching me how to code. My father was a software engineer and we wrote a little quiz using Delphi.
Basic in a ZX81! I was 12 years old 😉
Early 2013 when I was 15. Language was C#.
Started doing that because I liked Redstone in Minecraft a lot and my dad suggested I better learn something more useful 😅
After that I stopped playing Minecraft and started making programs
I was 7 and in C++. It didn't really stick since I never went back to C++ (these days I use Python), but it did help me realize what I don't like in a language.
