I started in 1980, a few years before I retired from the USA military.

^ 1980's cool. What language did you use back then? It must be really cool to see how programming evolved to the level it is today. I cant even begin to imagine.
There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
All generalizations are wrong. Even this one.

I keep programming to start programming some day.

I used HP (Hewlette Packard) Basic, which was more like a mixture of Pascal and Basic. A really nice language in its day, and data storage was on 8 1/2 inch glass diskettes that looked a lot like 33 1/3 RPM records\
Then we got our first real PC -- ran a whopping lightening-fast 128 mz cpu with 64k memory, two 5 1/2 inch single-sided floppy drives and no hard drive and MS-DOS version 1.0 which did not support sub-directories, everything was in the root folder. We got a C compiler (Lattice C) that all fit on one of the diskettes and the data was on the other disk. When I started a compile it took so long to finish that I went to another desk and read a book or did other things. That version of Lattice C implemented the original K&R style C programs.

2 1/2 years for me .... and i realise that it'll take me time to be a pro in c++ . In contrast i see people who use Java become proficient much quickly. There was a time i was thinking of shifting to Java(around a year back) but then stuck to c++ and now i'm in love with it. It's always so challenging....

I've been programming for 3 years. Mostly C (for uControllers), but also C++ and a little bit of VB.net & PHP.
Made my first program 15 years ago on a Commodore 64.
