It's good to know there are others out there (though I'm even later in the game - I'm 22.) I don't know what it was - I was always surrounded by the Internet and always fascinated by the Internet, but I never breached that gap. I guess my attention span was too short. But honestly it's a lot easier to learn now. You don't have to go read tons of stuff to get started, with the likes of Codecademy you can start programming immediately and learn by doing with a little bit of structure. That's been all the difference for me. Best of luck to the OP.
