Re: How did you learn.
Started when I was 8 with HTML (Mom was Web Designer). Then I started to hack games first maplestory then gunz and a few other games in the middle (C++) then went back to PHP learned and advanced in it. Then, I learned other languages at the same I progressed in my other learned languages. By the time I was 16 I knew HTML (websites), PHP (websites), C/C++/C# (hacking), Java (maplestory), & Javascript (websites / maplestory) and at the time I started to learn Delphi, In my senor year of Highschool I took a Computer Science Class (Java / C++) >.<
I think we all start off in our own ways for me it was just getting myself todo it because it felt rewarding to say I built this on my own. But I guess what really got me into coding was learning how people hacked passed Administrator passwords on windows >.<! Haha I did so when I was 7 cuz pro haha (I don't remember that bootable ISO but ya). That was the days c: Oh and now I'm planning on Majoring in computer science at MIT c:

I learned by doing machine language on a 1MHz Z80
But, I'm older than dirt...haha

Re: How did you learn.
I started really late compare to all of you guys.. I've read my first programming book when I was 20 (2 years ago).
It was "C Programming: A Modern Approach".
Over the past 2 years I haven't learned anything specific, I've migrated from low level programming thru game programming to web programming picking up basic concepts and skills.
Last summer I decided to get a degree so now I'm focusing on Java as my Uni bases all of their material around it.
In January I started to read more about low level programming/ reverse engineering too.
I got a long way to go but I'm enjoying every bit of it!

Re: How did you learn.
Programing is like a chatting, u give a question to OS and OS answer it back, and only OS Comuniticate at computing language to the hardware.
Its not hard at all, programing language is a easy way to write a program at any human level language, the responsibility to translate what u write to computer is done by the compiler.
But first u need to learn the logic of programing, how to use a language, and how to put every thing u need in a syntax of some language
Its like:
If i this is equal that do this and for else do that or while this is equal that do this.
right this above is logic, u only need to put in some syntax:
if (this == that)
{
executeThis();
}
else {
executeThat();
}
while (this == that) {
doThis();
}
I just recomend u, read as much u can.
Download some source codes to read and try.
On internet have a lot of content to learn a language, firt start with easy ones, like scripting languages (perl, lua, python) and PHP is another too.
Good luck xD
