Ryan Lanciaux recently tagged me to write up how I got started in software development (a meme originally started by Michael Eaton).

How old were you when you first started programming?

I first started "programming" when I was 11. In quotes because I really don't consider now what I did then programming. It was mostly just hacking and fumbling.

How did you get started in programming?

I've been using computers and playing computer games since I was very young, probably about 4 or 5 years old, back in the personal computing heyday of the 1980s. That segued to an interest in actually creating my own games and programs.

What was your first language?

BASIC, and later C++
