welcome to the club... Beside. What 13 year old wants to make an OS.. be side the 4\5 that are here on OSDev?

has there ever been a kid younger then 12/13 to join OSDev?

My first idea of making my own OS began in my 12 and there, I started my first "OS". In 13, I started making PortixOS, in Pascal. And now, in 14? Converting this pascal OS to 32bit assembly

OMG... I was still working with QBasic and Visual Basic when I was at that age. Like you're destined to become a system developer inflater

I'm 23 btw.

i started learning batch, BASIC, and C++ at 11 or 12. personally, i like batch when i am bored and want to create some network sharing program. i use BASIC when i want to develop something fast, and i use C and ASM for OS devving. for Windows i wouldn't be surprised if i started programming in C#

.BATch scripts in Windows, that was 4 years ago

It was sure fun to write some message, DEL *.* and convert it to COM

Here you go - your first virus

i don't know anyone on osdev (including me) that is younger than 13

Posted: **Tue Jul 17, 2007 12:51 pm**

swap the digits of com1' age then increment the resulting number and you've gon my age.

This ain't too difficult I reckon, eh?

Posted: **Tue Jul 17, 2007 2:40 pm**

I've been reading some of your replies and I probably identify myself best with 'inflater', with the exception that I started programming when I was about 7 or 8 years old (I know so because I was in the 3rd grade, and with a summer birthday, but I would say that it was most likely at 8 ) and am now 19.

I started programming almost immediately after getting my first computer when a friend of mine, who was quite a bit older than I was, introduced me to the wonderful world of programming. Ever since I started, I have been interested in writing utilities and not games, which eventually led me to wanting to write an operating system like the ones I was playing with at the time, which included Dos, Win3.11, Win95. So the first time I tried writing an operating system, or what I thought was an operating system (multitasking script interpreter with a gui menu system), was probably around the age of 10. I know that all this probably sounds a bit crazy, but honestly, it is all true. It's called RITALIN lol.

Well, as of this week I am 15.

I started learning to programming in BASIC and visual BASIC when I was 8, and the C came when I was 10. Around that time I learned about computers (the internals). When I was 11, I started wanting to write my own OS. Around that time I switched to Linux (I was using windows, but I watched someone use Linux and thought "WOW, Thats is so much better"). When I was 12 I started learning about OS Dev, off an on, and now I have been writing my OS for over 1 1/2 years now.

There you go, my programming history.
