What age did you start?

[Liz]

At what age did you start getting in to development. Could be of any kind really. I got started around age 13 and have been at it off and on since then. Seems like there are so many people getting into computers in general at all ages these days.

[India]

Yeah right, i started up at the age of 13-14.

[Liz]

Thats pretty cool what got you intrested?

For me I just wanted to make myself a personal page since I was doing a lot of chatting in those days.

[arcadepunk]

I started at I think 12 years and have been working on improving my skills ever since then. I remember when I was first making my site and used an online generator to make my site Those were the days and I was so naive lol I used to believe traffic came in by itself

Same here. I started at 13 and it was first a forum with invisionfree. Everything was stock like the skin and images and everything else. It was then called 7h0m4 boards and only my friends were on it. I got rid of that and much later I started PPVGeneral which is pretty big now.

I have never actually developed a website but I started in the business when I was 17. Now I am 18 so one year.

[rascagua]

I started webdev business when I was like 12.... I really didnt do much then, I started like more when I was 14

[inspiration100]

11 I think. I got a early start and man, I should have bought a couple 3 letter .com domains while I was at it

*feels teh youngness*

My first website was when I was 9, using a WYSIWYG editor...

Then when I was 10/11 I started learning HTML... built my first website solely in photoshop and HTML when I was 12, now I'm 14 and have had around 10 websites, 4 forums and a couple of blogs

Looks like I'm the old fart here, judging from when y'all started!

The military introduced me to "computer programming" back in the early 70's and I had no idea what it was at first; but, over the past 30+ years, I worked for awhile at MicroSTOOPID in COBOL; FORTRAN; VisualBasic; VisualFoxPro; and was on the original Engineering team for Win95 and the "Information Superhighway", which is now simply called the Internet.

Began creating websites over 12 yrs ago, and now teach as much HTML & CSS to those who want to learn -- but, with so many tutorials available today, there really isn't that much "teaching" involved now.

[wasted soul]

it seems you guys expose your self at young age... well, not actually in development but i start learning the basic when im 19 now im 21

[Blackeagle]

Just like others i started off at the age of 12 and since then i'm into it.

[Rob]

I started at 9, that was simple computing.
I learned HTML at the age of 10.
I learned how to use Photoshop properly during 10-11.
I learned PHP at 12.
I also learned C#, C++ Console Programming, ColdFusion, ASP, and ASP.NET, very breifly, during the ages 12-13.

[johanng]

Was about 16-17, forgot.

Well; I'm not at a young age, but since you're still a "Newbie", I'll tell you some things about your website...

You have 28 code warnings, of which you've made the most common error, and that's where you didn't start your site off with the required <!DOCTYPE Declaration>.

A DOCTYPE Declaration is mandatory for most current markup languages and without one it is impossible to reliably validate a document. The DOCTYPE defines the version of the document like -- HTML 4.0.1, XHTML 1.0, 1.1, ...etc.

Now; here's the rest of your code warnings you may wish to fix, so that your site validates for accessibility in all web browsers:

line 1 column 1 - Warning: missing <!DOCTYPE> declaration
line 100 column 61 - Warning: unescaped & or unknown entity "&java"
line 100 column 68 - Warning: unescaped & or unknown entity "&security"

Sure is funny to me -- I see alot of people claiming all of this "alleged" computer programming / HTML / CSS / Website experience ... but, I see NO WEBSITES, much less any examples of your work!

Why is that?

[Angel]

I "started" when I was about 13 or so, with trying to create a few graphics. I had no idea how to code, but I learned through staring other other people's HTML/CSS by 14, just a little bit in coding. By my fifteenth birthday, I could code pretty well and I was looking to build some websites. I've created many websites in the past, but most of them have gone down since I haven't put much effort into them. However, now, I'm planning to stay with one website and watch it grow.

[linuxhq]

errmmm... going on other people, this might be a bit wierd but 5...
I learned basic with Basica by my grandfather. The last 4 generations of my family are all nerds Oddly enough, some are sport stars lol.
