Programming... Any other young programmers here?

I'm currently learning Objective-C so I can make iPhone apps, I've got two great ideas for apps that I'm developing now

I've chosen to do iPhone apps because Apple sorts out distribution, fees, sales, and gives all iPhones direct access to your app, for 30% of sales. The 30% might look a bit high but I think it's worth it when you can make millions and only need a Mac to do it, and only have to pay £60 a year costs and that's basically it.

Anyway, anyone else here doing any programming?

Me, but you already know that.

For anyone else reading, Python is my main language. I have to do a little bit of VB.NET in school and I hate it. Terrible language in my opinion.

I've used C++, Python, PHP, and VB.NET. I have also used LabVIEW and Java ME for programming robots.

hey, great.

my kid's a programmer, tho not for iphone. i'm still learning about my mac and etc. i have a longrange goal to learn at least enough to code a couple of apps myself.

just saying: nice, i support you, good idea

I have been interested in programming since I was a child. I was impressed by how a computer worked.
By that time I learned how to make *.bat files (for Windows and DOS) by myself. Recently I've read university materials on the internet about C language, but I only how to make console programs (for Windows).

I started to programme at the age of 13, with languages like BASIC and VISUAL BASIC. I was at one stage teaching myself C, but now I have forgotten everything and I don't programme stuff any more. I really want to get back into it, but my short term memory is a bit buggered up.

I have been programming for less than two years but still mostly do console stuff when creating computer programs but can do some basic graphical stuff with Python. I have mostly worked with Windows so far but am considering switching to Linux. I focused on web development for a few months and set up a personal website but am now focusing on robotics programming with Java ME as the FIRST Robotics build season starts in less than two weeks.

If anyone knows about a good guide to VBscript could you post a link? I tried it but so far can do anything beyond creating text boxes.

I also forgot to mention in my previous post that I have done a lot with my TI-84+ graphing calculator, but thats just when I'm bored at school. Currently I'm creating a game and will have a beta version of that done soon, likely within a couple weeks (only because I'm not working on it during break, I have better things to do).

No, I tried to learn but couldn't.

Any advice would be nice though. I didn't think I could learn Dwarf Fortress either but I managed to do that with the right guide...

I learned HTML when I was about 12, and by now (I'm 14) I can do proper programming in a few languages (all C-like ones; I've been trying to learn Lisp but it's hard). I'm best with Python. Most of the programming I do though is never finished or just trivial (like a program that lets you add protons and neutrons to an atom and see what elements you get, or a program that forms colour patterns using simple formulas based on the coordinates of each pixel on the screen). I haven't done much programming in my 14th year though.

Yes. I can program in C, Ruby and HTML. Right now I'm learning Java.

I am a programmer. I program mostly in C, Objective-C, and Unity Script, however, I also program fairly regularly in YACC, LEX, C++, x86 NASM, javascript, PHP, HTML, python, bash, java, C#, GLSL, HLSL, Shaderlab, and CG; I also program irregularly in a host of other languages.

I'm fluent in C and C++.
I know some markup languages like XSLT, XML and XHTML.
That's about it.

Anyway, a work of advice for iPhone apps: It's not worth it. They can remove your apps at any time then magically make their own version of it. You can't use GPL software in the iPhone store due to you not being allowed to add licenses to your software.

C# or .NET are patent traps to make your apps Windows only software and kill off GNU/Linux.

Python is a good idea because it's a common thing and has loads of libraries. (I don't like it myself)
PHP is okay.
Assembly is worthless these days unless you're Ken Silverman or somebody else who needs that much performance.

Don't go near DirectX, it's CRAP. It does everything OpenGL on the year the version of DirectX was released and nothing more. It only works on Microsoft stuff too.
