Hey guys, I'm just wondering how long have you guys been programming?
I recently started Java about seven weeks ago and am loving it so far, despite my lack of skill.
I practice nightly and do really enjoy it, it just takes me awhile to get things [maybe because I'm not really "maths-minded"?]

Anyway, I thought this would be interesting. So post away!

My first programs were in Basic and were more or less just for fun. I did my first "game" program about the 7th grade (oh so many years ago). Did computer science competition back in high school...
Professionally about 8 1/2 years. I took a break from it when I worked in Tech support for a major software company based in Washington, and came back to it about 1998 with Visual C++6.
