When programmers start coding

[vic777]

Hmmm, I would have to say around 7-8 for me was first experience with Logo. Hell, I remember there was even a logo tv show in the 80's? Anyone else recall that?

Then obviously own pc from dual xt something->286 ->386 -> 486 and upwards, playing with dos batch commands and memory management and GWBasic\QBasic ( monkey thing, snake and was it money? ). School was Pascal with tech being c\c++ borland dos, html with notepad and Novel Zenworks.

First real coding job was doing vb compact on windows ce, vba , c# and vb.net

LOGO was great!

Started on a Commodore 64 in 1986, Commodore BASIC and LOGO

During the 70s some vendors and companies were donating their now redundant equipment to schools. This gave a few kids an introduction to coding before relatively cheap home computers came onto the market.

I had an Amiga from '88 onwards I think, That made anything from pcs to macs look ancient

Ja ja!

I'd still love to own an Amiga or one of the later Ataris.

Pop & Push. If you know what that means, then you can figure out when I started coding.
