Title: Yhullothar!
Post by: Awesomeness on September 16, 2011, 08:46:44 pm: Hey! I posted a first post a few days ago, so I might as well introduce myself.

My name is Stuart. I'm in 10th grade. I started programming in late 3rd grade in Python. Since then, I've learned Java, PHP, JavaScript, Lua, Arduino, a little bit of C, and a few non-programming language codelike things such as HTML and MySQL. I like Linux and open source/free software! ;D
I also like the BitTorrent protocol for... Saving the bandwidth of developers who want to distribute their free software. Yeah, that's it. XD

I started programming on calculators when I first saw a graphing calculator, a few years ago, borrowing one from a teacher. It was a Casio FX-9750G Plus. The first thing I noticed on the calculator (Before I figured out how to do normal math XD) was "PRGRM". I immediately started learning this new weird programming language whose name I did not know (Looking back, it's Casio BASIC right?) completely through trial and error. I loved the idea of running my own little programs outside of a computer. (This set the foundation for my interest in Arduino later.) A year later when my older brother got a TI-84 Plus, the second day he had it I hid it so that he wouldn't be able to take it to school, then brought it to school myself and programmed on it all day ;D this calculator was so much easier to program! Anyways, eventually, (e.g like 2 years have passed lol) now I obtained my own Ti-Nspire CAS and I was confused by its layout. Programming was... Different. I didn't like it as much, mostly because the GUI was different. Immediately I found ndless and saw how it allows me to overcome limitations I didn't like. (And also allowed me to play Pokemon :D) I installed it right away and I'll probably start learning C soon. I hope things work out!

So that's my story!

I am allergic to peanuts irl, btw. Don't poison me! ;)
