Was 8 back in 2008 when my father got me Small Basic, a simpler version of Visual Basic. I fondly remember making a game in which you had to click on the newest circle in the window, and a new one would appear every time. In 2009 I got a java book in Norwegian, and learned Java. Since then I've done C#, Python and C++ from stackoverflow. In that sense I'm as self-taught as can be, but I've picked up good coding habbits as well, I'm not just stiching togehter tiny examples from SO.
Currently trying to write a compiler. Having a blast, thanks dad!
