My first (real) programming experience was with PHP when I was 14. Before that, I fiddled around with a bit of flash and ActionScript. I found it so much easier to learn by actually having a project and working out how to make it a reality as opposed to just reading about it in a book.

I'm 15 and using PHP. It is very satisfying to use, especially after the depression and boredom of school.

I wish I had started younger, the way some of these other kids did.
