Age 8. Using my dad's PC (Compaq Transportable), I got my start typing in BASIC programs found in the back of Enter magazine. From age 11-14, HyperCard/HyperTalk (Macintosh SE) was my favorite/only environment for writing programs (called "stacks"). Then high-school happened, and I discovered girls and sports. I didn't really get back into programming again until college.
