1 - 5 years, more precisely, 4 years.

1) HTML
2) I found a website where one was able to make his or her own website, using HTML or with a WYSIWYG-editor. I started out with WYSIWYG, but as I got a somewhat understanding of how it was working, I started using my own HTML.
3) At the age of 14, when I started picking up C++.
4) No, I wanted to be a professor living deep down in the center of the earth in a laboratory with zombies.

I've been programming for 12 years, so that's since I was 20.

1 - HTML&CSS
2 - I don't know. I think I read about it in a magazine.
3 - About five years after I started. So about when I was 25.
4 - I wanted to be a blacksmith.

My experience...

1-5 years, to be exact 3 years.

1.Php
2.I saw my big brother creating unique sites in php. So I just felt that I need to follow his footsteps. So hopefully I will become as great he is today.
3.When I saw the possibilities with programing, I felt that I had to give even more time for it. This resulting me to studying at an IT High school in Sweden.
4.Well of course not :) I wanted to be come an author, I was like 11 years old when I thought about my path to adulthood.

He is working as a debugger at Sony Ericsson in Sweden, lol. How come he not being active in C.C. I would say he doesn't have time :)

I started programming in Visual Basic 5 about 8/9 years ago. My uncle had a book called "Visual Basic 5 Night School" I borrowed [its still sitting on my bookshelf] and started to read. After that, I didn't do much programming until two years later when I started to use HTML. About four years ago I started programming in PHP and about two years ago (Age 17) is when I too became serious.

It's been a while, but when I was young, I think I wanted to be a Firefighter. Still don't know if I want to be a Software Developer when I grow up. :)

1) I started programming 5 years ago if you want to count HTML although it is only a markup language. 3 if you dont.
2) I basicly sat down and went through Funky Chickens HTML Help! or a version of it the site had been taken down and we had an old blue ducktaped folder with HTML tutorials in it that i used.
3) I became serious about programming the day my IT teacher said I could not do it (she knew nothing about computers) and i learned it to spite her and fell in love with it.
4) No I wanted to be a zoo-ologist.

I did not even know how to turn on a computer untill about a week before i did self study in HTML. I learnd HTML for the most part in two days :cool: I used tutorials for a while then started trying to solve every thig myself because it is more fun that way.

1) VB.NET
2) Got an ancient book out of the library - it was difficult because it was pre-.NET, and I had no programming experience at the time.
3) Since I started, I suppose.
4) Nah... I wanted to be a porn star. :D JK, I liked the idea of a scientist.

1.)I answered 6-10 years but actually started programming basic on the apple IIE in my 5th grade classroom (This was some 14 years back.) I started with HTML about 6 years back and this was when I began to actually learn to write code that did something useful. I began OOP about 3 years ago now.
2.)I learned from one of my parents friends and another kid in my school who both had some experience in basic. I only made really simple programs and hardly consider this real programming experience. I learned HTML from my high school web design classes and eventually a college course or two. I began taking OOP courses when I was a junior in college.
3.)When I graduated college and realized that my math degree was a better option if I combined it with some other career skills.
4.)I wanted to be a lot of things when I was a kid. Most of all an astronaut. A programmer wasn't really in the picture, but I always wanted to work with computers:) I guess that works since I'm an IT guy (not a real programmer :) even though I like programming more than IT.)
