Programming is still a growing field, and personally I don't think you can ever be "too old" and this is coming from someone with 12 years experience in the field. What you learn starting out may be useless in few years if the industry mindset changes, or if a new techonology replaces it. If you are willing and excited to learn software/web/app development then your age shouldn't be a consideration.
