Poll: Users age

I'm not trying to be a sticky beak, but I'm just woundering how old people are who use this forum. (By the way, I'm 15!) :)

26

I'm 14, been VB'ing since 11. Actually, I was introduced to VB at 11, only started reading on it and that type of stuff around closer to age 13; maybe even 13. Roughly 9 months altogether of serious VB learning, but I'm running into a lot of math blocks such as trigonometry and that type of stuff (8th grade).

14, started programming at about 2 (sort of, really lightweight stuff), started VBing at 6 or 7.

LOL "Ancient" Nice.

Thou must remebereth to speaketh to the old one in the old tongue, lest ye not be understood :p

17 here

..a case of the "ancient" dog teaching (nearly) all the new tricks eh?
Still, with 12 years of solid experience behind VF, you've got a few of the pups hot on your tail Hand!... :D ;)

oh, BTW: I'm a globe-trotting 28... darned kids r'makin' me feel old!

Im 15

What?
2 yrs old?

21, started vb about 4 months ago--

I'm 19, I have been programming in VB since I was 14 and find it very easy and straight forward to use.

My latest project is currently learning to program in C++.

I have always felt that VB was insuffucent in the flexibility I demanded.

Ack, that and I do not want to be dependant on something Microsoft owns.

now what type of programing might that be?

if finger.inmouth = Yuk then
finger.move out
else
finger.insert finger.length
mouth.suck
endif

Am i right?

btw i am 16...I lost the password to my old account, and no, dont say click get your password, i also lost the e-mail account it came in.

I am currently terroising my school network.

I'm in my mid to latish 20's... It's funny as the older you get, the less accurate your age needs to be! :D
Been programming since I was 12, so that's like around 15 years now! :eek:

31 in a month or so. I feel old. Come on there must be some more oldies out there. :( when I was 14/15 I think I was still using a spectrum!

I started programming on the Atari 600XL (age 16), so that must be some years ago :D

The old guy here, 41 :cool:

23

I started programming on the Amstrad CPC 464 (64k of memory, like the C64) at the age of 12, learnt Basic on it then learnt Assembly soon after and used the two together and made some wonder first games. :)

The CPC was so old, it had a tape drive instead of a floppy drive. :D

I saw a three-year old somewhere on the forums.:-\
Where did it go to?

I have been 10 years old for 8 years!:)

By the way, don't forget that some don't reveal their true age.
:cool:

I'm 9 years old, but nearly 10!!!

Well it says on the forum that I'm 3 and it's also my birthday! And forums never lie.......... :D

So the fact that I've been programming for 15 years now... well that would mean that I started programming at the age of -12!!!! Now that has to be a record... Funny how life works....... :eek:

I know I'm not the only 40something on here.... so why am I the only one that voted that way?

:)

I had to vote ancient, since it was my addition to the poll. ;)

oh... heh...

I'm 17, but I've only been into programming for about 1 year, since I took the course last school year (Late August, Early September 2000). But for the post at Volte about being two when he started, that was great.

I think that you could use that tidbit of code as a test, perhaps to see if something is good. I think a real program for a 2 year old'd be, doing this code from my experience as a 2 year old:


If EdsStomach.Empty = True Then
Ed.CryForBottleAndFood
TmrEdCry.Enabled = True
ElseIf EdsStomach.Empty = False Then
Ed.WaitACoupleOfHours
End If

LOL

stealing my lines arnt we now?

22, a year younger than Banjo but maybe some light years behind him in programming, go buddy do, ur an icon of inspiration :D

Well it says on the forum that I'm 3 and it's also my birthday! And forums never lie.......... - Lord Pookie
Hey! You turned 3 again! Happy Birthdays! L:oL!
I started programming [...] at the age of 12 - Lord Pookie
Interesting. Once upon a time, you were 12. Now you're 3.
I'm in my mid to latish 20's... - Lord Pookie
Something has gone terribly wrong.
You are in your latish 20's and 3 at the same time, while once upon a time you were 12. L:eek:L!
I know age is nothing but a number, but this is ridiculous.
BTW, since when did forums never lie?:p
~1 page error~

Started out on the Amstrad CPC in GWBASIC (or something similar) at about 7 or 8 years old, mainly typing in listings from computer magazines and then modifying them. Bought Visual Studio 5 when I was 14 (back in '98). Just ordered VS 6, due to arrive tomorrow.

I am now 18. :D

I was born in a little log cabin in Illinois that I built with my own hands.......

WOW! what OS did that run?;)

Well Mr IcyPlug. Because this is the internet, my ages changes as much as my clothes... well sort of. :D

Tomorrow I might be a woman! :eek:

What OS did the Amstrad CPC464 run on?

Well Amstrad Basic was built into it's rom chip, so when you turned on the computer, Basic would load a lovely deep blue screen and blocky yellow writing......

And Basic was the whole operating system. It did have lots of library calls you could call from basic but not much else.

Least the 'OS' it was instant load when the computer was turned on. :D

Cool, but what about his log cabin?

Kind of a paradox...... being born in the log cabin that he built. How could he build it before he was born?

:-\

I was born in a little log cabin in Illinois that I built with my own hands.......
Only in Illinois, perhaps? :) LVQ. :D
Wasn't there a "Lord" Pookie somewhere?:confused: (guess he was denounced...hmm).

Shouldn't the fourth item on the poll list be > 40 (greater than 40)?

I'm sorry reboot, but you're not Lincoln.

:(

I think I had most of them fooled if you hadn't told....

Sorry, I just thought of it as putting in my own style of baby code, sorry if I made you mad :( or some undesirable feeling.

50 -- I'm "old" to the young, and "young" to the old.

When I was 15 years old I wondered if I would
actually be alive when the year 2001 rolled
around...being that I would be so ancient by then.

OH-well, being old is definately better than the alternative.

I 'Denounced' the queen and became a Republican. :D

15 is a good age, It was one year ogo now, and 16 is even better :)

and Computer Guy,
i wasnt really offended, it was more of a friendly "you copyed my idear" thing, i dont mind, no harm done.

I started on an IBM system 360/65 that took about 15 square feet of floor space without the 3/4 meg of core (ram), selector channel, muliplexor, external Dasd (direct access storage devices (Hard Drive)), Tape drives, printers and dare I say..... Card Reader/Punch

When I went to school, they didn't have history!

Only 41? I'll be 53 come July.

Question: Is the relative youth of today's programmers responsible for all those websites that print everything in@$#%@$#! 3 poin type?

...yes, yes they are.

53? Wow. :eek:

You can't increase the font size under a view menu of some sort?
If not, it's time for the
magnifying glass ! :)

Or get a 21" monitor as I did.

Only 41? I'll be 53 come July.
BTW, did you click on 'Ancient'?:cool:

I like this thread... 42 is feeling younger and younger :p

Going to view and then text size always worked for me

I like this thread... 42 is feeling younger and younger
So does 22! Well. Maybe older and older. I'm not 22, either.
I'm 223!:D
