I remember when I was interviewing a student for a software engineering post and he said his father was a software engineer. It was quite a shock. Until then it had not occurred to me that anyone looking for a job could have a father who was be a software engineer! Now, I may have been dramatic, I am 38. But when I look at github I see so many who look like they are still in high school :) Well if this adds more perspective my father who although is a physicist and not a programmer, used ibm punchcards for his computer programs. So if you dropped the box and they got out of order.... And of course there is 1/2 of the world built on cobol and fortran.

I don''t mind admitting I am 54 - I am aiming to keep learning and developing my skills as long as I can. I am self employed working on my own, so this forum is a lifeline to keeping in touch with what is developing and picking up on how to do things better. I always find it helpful when concepts are discussed and appreciate links to useful resources. (thanks to those who contribute) Finding time to keep up with changes as well as doing actual development is quite a stretch.

I''m 46. My first (and only formal) CS course was conducted using teletypes and a mainframe in Canada, while I was in Phoenix AZ: the McGill University System for Interactive Computing, or MUSIC, which taught us BASIC. There was a card reader in the building, but I never used it for anything. I did use up a lot of fan-fold paper, though, as this was an actual clatter-type teletype, not one of your fancy "glass terminals". It was very nice to spend the god-awful summer in a 70° room...

First code in 1970 in a freshman Fortran class at ASU, but really learned logic as an aircraft mechanic at age 18 in the Air Force. If you had a problem on the aircraft that you didn''t know about, you used decision logic tables or problem solution charts to find the symptoms and search for solutions.

Great to see some other programmers on this list of "mature age". I''m 49 and wrote my first line of code in Pascal at the University of Sydney 30 years ago. It has been a fascinating journey since then and these days I love programming in Ruby for a living. -- http://www.cockatoosoftware.com.au http://keithpitty.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I should confess that C remains my favourite language to the extent that sometimes I find myself writing C-like Ruby code :-).

I got you beat there. I started drawing my early social security earlier this year. I am 62 and started programming on an IBM 1130 in ''67 or so. All of the programing was on cards. Lots of fun carrying a box of them around. That machine had a removable disk drive of some type that contained megabytes of space. It was amazing what you could do with a machine like that. We didn''t get to run our own programs, you had to submit them and then figure out what you did wrong from the output listings.

5 track paper tape ... mumble mumble ... hollerith ... grumble grumble ... punch card ... mumble ... marveled at the technology that allowed us to encode *lowercase letters*!!!1!! (or 7 track paper tape as it was known). Actually I''m only 49 but I started quite young. I''ve been a paid programmer for nearly 30 years (probably 28 years but when it gets this long things get fuzzy :) ) I think I was 11 or 12 when I wrote my first program - using paper tape.
