I started on PHP when I was 17 or 18, but didn't seriously start studying it until about January of this year. 15 is pretty young for how much you have learned... keep it up youngin'

EDIT: This was directed towards the dude who posted he was 15 on the page before this

Didn't Feyd do something like that, where he started programming at like 12 years old? I couldn't imagine wanting to have anything to do with programming at that age. Of course, I am now a 31 year old geek, but still...

I started messing with PHP at about 14/15, as I mentioned in another thread earlier, I used to use PHP-Nuke before I knew anything about PHP, then I messed about with it a bit in the .php files and it sorta took off from there.

I've wanted to be a programmer since I saw my mom write a small 10-liner in BASIC when I was 7 years old.

15. I turned 15 in June (I believe I share the same birthday with Feyd, only something like 11 or 12 years apart). I've been doing stuff with php and JavaScript since about 13 I think. Started HTML at 11. It's fun stuff. I wish I had more time to work with it though, during school I don't have much time at all.

I can't beat tecktalkcm0391 getting a computer at age 5. Our first computer was when I was in third grade. I started with HTML on a forum making "siggys," signatures with marquee and then realized HTML offered more than marquee. I was really interested in learning how to make my own site.
