[OFF-TOPIC] How old are you when you first discover about Code?

Question

I'm 13 years old when I first discover about coding when my uncle gave me a gift that changed who I am today. He gave me a laptop, the first thing that comes on my mind back then was to play games. Months later I discovered the game called Minecraft and played it for several days, after few weeks I questioned myself, how did they make such a game. I surf the net for information and I discover HTML and JS, my first two languages 😁.

@tooselfish
Can I ask how old you are now?

Answer 11

Last year when I was 15 (I still am)

Answer 12

The first time when I discovered how to code stuff was at 14 years old. I first learnt HTML. Then moved on to CSS. Now I am learning JavaScript.

You are never to young to code, I guess.

Answer 13

I was 11 when I first started, and got into html, then later realised it wasn’t right for me, so I asked my dad and he told me the best language to learn pseudo code in to start was batch. After the easy learning of batch finished I decided to learn another and so I surfed the web and looked for a list of programming languages, watched a video and wanted to learn python, and still love it to this day (just started with this app and it’s great)

Answer 14

probably around 13. Cant remember, i think first i learned some pascal, html and batch. I think I was around 16 when i studied some basics for php, java, javascript, sql. But I got into coding properly when I was 24ish

Answer 15

12

Answer 16

First coding was 8 or 9, but I didn’t ever do anything worthwhile until I turned 13 last year. Then I started to understand what I was doing and actually make useful projects.

Answer 17

3 1/2. Wrote my first program on a Texas Instruments TI-99/4a Home Computer. Google it. It's so old. :) My older brothers taught me how to write really basic programs but I was hooked. Learned Logo in Elementary school. Then Basic. Did Pascal briefly in middle school.

Answer 18

noor given that this is a post meant for something else, it probably wouldn't be the best idea to answer it here. I would suggest posting your own standalone question, where you're not just limited to the people in this thread and anyone can recognize that you need help.

Answer 19

I got started to code when i was probably 9 or 10.. At that time i always and each and every time I just did HTML but as i grew i knew that there are bulks of languages to grasp.. Right now i am 15 but still doing Web codes.. actually i am stuck with my oceanious syllabus..

I entered coding when my grandpa brought a DESKTOP for me . Earlier i only did paint but when i explored it.. A lot was there.

Answer 20

13 me too
first i "programmed" with ms excel (not makros or something just put easy functions in the cells)
and then my friend started with Python. He gave up python 2 month later :(. But my parents made me a gift: a python book.
Now im 16 years old and programm for 3 years (to me it seems much longer). Before 2 years i started with unity3d and released some Apps on the google PlayStore

My englisch is very bad, isnt it?
