How long have you been programming?
 

This isn't a specific question regarding a certain program or anything, so if this is in the wrong forum, feel free to move it. :confused:

I was just curious how long everyone here has been programming, and how long with C++? The reason I'm asking is I'm curious as to how long it took people like Narue to become as proficient as they are with the language. :P

I personally have been programming for ~4 years now, and worked with C++ for probably about 2-3 of those years. About the first two years were all on really basic console programs since I took a C++ class in high school and my first few classes in college were basic C++ courses.


Edit - Since plgriffith posted the other languages he's worked with, I guess I will too.

I've also worked with some Pascal, Assembly, SQL, Java, PHP, HTML and now starting to play around with Perl a little at work. I haven't really gone in depth with any of these languages though, C++ has always been my main focus.

I have been programming for five semesters now. At least one class each semester uses C++ so I would say I've been programming in C++ for about three years. I've also gotten to play around with Java, Scheme, MySQL, etc.

since september in pascal and about a month is c++ :D

That sounds like exactly how I started out.

My high school offered Pascal and C++ and I started out with Pascal and then took the C++ course before I moved on to doing it in college, and now trying to make a career out of it. :P

hmm, not quite sure when I started programming.
It was using IBM Advanced BASIC on an IBM 5155 PC Portable, which was sold roughly in 1983/84. That makes well over 20 years now.

About 10 years in C++, about 12 years total.

About 8 years on computers, 18 years if you count recreational algorithm invention not conducted on computers.

4 years for me.

Re: How long have you been programming?
 

Have been programming for 4 years. I started programming during my college time. Learn quite a few language such as C++, Java, PHP, ASP.NET, C#. But all are mostly basic and hence not master in any of it.

PHP - 5 Months
ASP - 1 Year
HTML - 1 Year
