Age 16 or so, Boy Scout explorer post at the local bank in 1969. The person teaching us (a programmer at the bank) gave us a brief intro to the RPG (Report Program Generator) language, then said "Now, think of something you'd like the computer to do, and write a program to do it. Here are the manuals, and I'm here to answer any questions you might have." First "real" experience was at Univ. of Illinois, CS 101, with PL/I as the language.
