Obviously at the age of 5 I just copied out small programs and made changes to them, with help from my dad, not very creative but it was still programming.
Maybe you should be a little more carefull before you say that I am "trolling".
Like I said :
you are passive and can't think by yourself at such a young age...
Wow I feel like such a late starter while reading this thread. I started programming at age 18, graduated at 19 and now work full time as a J2EE developer.
Name: Brandon
Location: Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Age: 22
Programming Languages: C++,C#,ASP.NET,JavaScript,VB.NET,Java and many more.
P.S. I also do not believe that the memory wipes itself clean between 0-9. I vividly remember things from my childhood such as the night my mother left, digging up my mothers rose bushes at the age 4 trying to create better drainage for them and much more. Just my 2cents..completely off top for this thread though.

I've been programming since I was 13.
I used to be active in this forum about 2 years ago, now I hardly have time to open this forum. But hopefully, I'll start posting again!
There are 10 kinds of people in this world: those who can read binary and those who can't
Who am I?
It's a philosophical question and I don't know the exact answer except to say that I am the only thing that I know for certain, exists in this world.
You guys are probably all a figment of my imagination.
I just wanted to say, I always wondered what really is the amount of knowledge required before you can say that you know a language.
e.g.
12 year old programmer "Geomaster"
Programming Languages:C++, VB6+VB.NET, C#, PHP, MySQL, (x)HTML, CSS, Java Mobile Edition, JavaScript, and some others, I don't remember, I studied Perl for some time but I gave up.
He studied Perl for some time.. but gave up! Sure. How long is some time? He's only 12 and apparently knows about 10 languages.
Also, just all you guys who say you remember things vividly from when you are 5. Get real. You just remember what your brain wanted to remember. It might actually not be how it happened.
e.g. I been in fights and even straight after the fight I couldn't remember the order of events.
Your brain only remembers what it needs to .. what it has learned to.. and it remembers things when you are under stress. But it doesn't remember details. You can't even picture someone's face in your mind when not looking at them. But when you see them, you remember them.
Had to throw in my 2cents worth because I love an argument.
All these unmotivated comments. hybrid would be mad!
I'm surprised hybrid isn't in here giving you guys all a lecture.
Age: Indeterminate. Much closer to 60 than 50 so I guess I am a genuine dinosaur.
Born in the UK and currently living in Australia, working two days a week as a college teacher for my sins. The rest of the time I build stuff. Programs, web sites, cars and houses. I just like making things work.
First programmed for an IBM 360 in 1973, it had 30 kB of RAM (that used magnetic ceramic beads) and cost 2.4 million. Been using C since it first came out and have spent the last thirty years trying to understand Donald Knuth's books,
Been hacking away on most things that can be programmed and have reached that point in life where I forget more each day than I learn.
Currently teaching C++ for games dev and have been using Irrlicht since v1.1. Spotted a couple of my students in these forums.

But so that my post could not be classified as spamming, I shall tell you something about me
