I took "intro to C++" as a freshman at my university. So 18 year's old. I started working with PHP at by buddy's start up shortly thereafter. I took a couple more classes. I minored in CS. I coded for fun and some small client projects while I worked in other industries for a decade. I then became a real, professional developer at around age 28.
