Re: How Did You Learn How To Program?

I started in 7th grade when we learned how to program a CNC machine.
I was interested in Game Programming, so I got a few books on that (Big Mistake, the book was on a form of basic - should have tried learning a more standard language first.)

Fast forward to High School - one of the mentors took me through C programming with the edu robot (earliest form of VEX, I believe teams were given kits of these when they switched over).

Also, 3 years of Java in high school, a semester of C and Matlab in college.



I haven't "mastered" labview yet, however I'm pretty confident if I needed to get something done in it I could hack my way through (I've been given tutorials from another mentor on our team). I'd much rather give the problems than do them
