Young PHP developers look here

Hi, I'm Fayte, and I'm 14 years old, from the UK. I'm new to this site. I'm not new to PHP though, I've been at it for 4 years now. I'm doing freelance work for jungleravers.com at the moment.

I'm sure there must be a few other people like me. By posting this message here, I hope to attract the attention of those people to share my idea.

I am going to try to put together a group of young like-minded PHP developers to possibly do freelance work together, and just be a friendly community to discuss ideas and stuff, and help out people who are new to the language.

If you're interested, here are the criteria.

- You must be under 16
- Any experience in PHP is fine, even if you're just starting out
- You must want to have fun!

If you're interested, check out the community forum at http://fayte.xyz-host.com/ydc

If you know anyone who might be interested, tell them to read this post. Cheers guys!

Not a bad idea to have a site based on the younger generations experiences and helping each other, but having a "cutoff" date in my opinion isn't the way to go. You can state that the site is meant for younger people to join and give advice and just talk, but don't stop someone from registering just because they're not in their teens anymore. They could be some of the best members of the forum since they might have the experience of working as a younger person in the field and could help the new programmers out.

I'm 17 by the way.

17 here too...what is this, age discrimination? :P (I'm just kidding). Seriously though, raise the bar, i think people like me and LilPunkSkater have much to offer you kids.

Hmh, I've just joined. I'm 19, and hardly an expert with PHP (started with it about 48 hours ago), though I program in Java and Pascal - yeh, Pascal! Don't laugh!

I'm currently staying up all night getting my head around MySQL...

(Turbo) Pascal is the language that made me love programming :)
Back in those days you could find plenty of sites with assembler routines to speed up screen blitting etc.. Too bad they all seem to have disappeared :/

I learned some pascal in college and I hated it.
