Ha! I hear ya Stephen! I didn't get my hands on a computer until 17 - when my high school offered the very 1st course ever - mainly on an Apple II - a course in BASIC. I'm surely jealous of the kids today - who have Easy access to computers - and can start computing at a Super Young age.
I actually taught my son Binary & Hex numbers, and doing math in those number systems - back when he was about 7 or 8. And, I think it was about a year ago I was trying to show him how to program in Basic - as I found a real Simple type of Basic I could install on my laptop. Maybe it was called Simple BASIC - I forget. It's still on the laptop - but, I just can't play with it now at work. I wish I could have gotten my son more interested in programming - and at least dabbling in it. Although - he's already taken SEVERAL Classes - in these summer ID Tech camps - I believe in like JavaScript - I think. And, some other classes on weekends - I think at a local college - classes for gifted kids - and I think he may have been doing some Java, some HTML and maybe a little bit of CSS - or something like that. And, that was about a year ago or so. FYI - he will be turning 14 this coming July 11th. And - I just saw the video - at least the beginning. The woman interviewer sure is kinda hot! But, the Kid - Dang - smart young kid - can believe he is actually a "Professional" Developer already at the age of 15 - and is juggling MULTIPLE Projects! Jeepers - does the kid NOT attend school??? I didn't finish watching the video - but, I will - and I may have already answered my own question once I watch the rest... -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stephen Russell Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2015 3:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NF] New shiny thing... 15 year old kid who is coding.
