I'm curious about where have you learned coding? I had learned Java most of my life, in a university course since the age of 15. It was a special programming course for high school students and out of 6000 students who applied I was one of the lucky 50 that got in after 3 huge tests in logical thinking and math. This was the path I took to have this job now as a full time software engineer. I'm interested to know how all of you guys learned programming and when have you started. Feel free to tell about apps or programs you use as I'd like to further increase my knowledge in other languages too ☺

    I was sent to a computer class in a place that my father's friend used to own. I was given a discount on the fee. I was the youngest of all the students in that class, I think I was 11 or 12. People used to look at me in aww when I used to finish my programs first and then used to improve them so much so that sometimes the teacher had to look at it twice to understand. My love for coding grew. I never went to a programming class after those 2 months but it changed my life forever. Today, I not only build apps and websites, I teach 5000 students how to build those just in the same way I learnt that.

    My two cents to a beginner: Don't restrict yourself to languages. Languages come and go, logics and concepts stay.

    I started at school with pseudocode, then at University with C, Visual basic, Java and more. I learned C# at work and know I write better code because of code maintainability reads (and you know, implementation at work).
