I made a few posts already, but didn't see this forum. Anyhow I came to this site to get help when I need it on C++. I am currently 17 (going to be 18 very soon). And have been programming since I was 12. I started out basic programming for graphing calculators, then moved on to assembly language for them. I then learned qbasic and some web languages. I've played with a number of languages after that, none I really kept with. Then I came upon C, and read an entire book on it, and started learning C++. I am currently still trying to get a full grasp on C++ (I am really comfortable with it already). I learned GUI programming as well, like GTK, wxWidgets and the Windows API. I've been C programming for about about 3 years. So... thats my life story...

how did you stay interested in programming at such a young age? did you take any classes?

I got interested in programming because I found it interesting how devices could be manipulated with programming. It was facinating. My mom is a programmer too, but I like to believe that my interst in the field was concidental, and has no correlation to that.
