Craftdragon I had a similar experience in Year 10. I had already been programming for like 2 years before I had the opportunity to take a computer science class at school. I was way more experienced than my teacher so he would send me around to help people all lesson and I couldn't do my own work. I ended up just teaching myself even more at home for fun and then not learning anything in the lessons lol Me and the teacher are buds though and he helped me through a tough period of my life and is aware that I'm a better programmer than him and respects it lmao

He's so good at it, I always assumed he's been programming since he was a little kid. Turns out it's only been 6 years. That's pretty inspiring.

Love this vlog format. Keep em coming!

I also "discovered" programming 2011 when I was 13. It was a Friday night and I sat watching KZread and came across some tutorial on C. I did what we all did, followed along, got things right and became excited. The difference is that I didn't really pour my heart into it like Cherno or others.

This is for the most part how I started. I just simply picked a Visual Basic 6 book up one day because I was bored and I did not know ANYTHING at all. I got about half way through the book and I was hooked!! I program professionaly and personally now and its been over 20 years!!

oh my gosh i was not prepared for a story this good... 😳 you are so talented at so many things, including storytelling, i am entranced!! 😳

AAAAAAAAAAH WHY DID YOU END THE VIDEO???!?!?

no wonder your videos and your rooms are always beautiful and well-organized

Yo Cherno, to some degree, what you described with notch's livestream is very similar to what I did with the very first episodes of the the Sparky series! I knew how to make basic console applications and did some immediate mode OpenGL, but your series was the first major eye opener into the world of serious game development. I can't thank you enough for releasing those videos!

Oh, Man! You are so young! Only 22-years-old in 2017 after making so many quality C++ videos. You evolve yourself so quickly in 6 years from 16-year-old beginner to 22-year-old advanced programmer. You have such an inspiring, interesting and beautiful soul. Wish you have your matching soul mate to company your life journey!

When I was working my part time job through Uni at a Liquor Shop I used to print out empty receipt rolls and hand write code on the back of them. My first real introduction to 'programming' was in Year 10. We were playing around with Scratch and my teacher set an assignment. I finished it early and started trying to make a game with it. My teacher ended up setting the next assignment around what I created.

The current video quality is through the roof Cherno! Do you have an editor or are you pulling this off alone? It's amazing whatever you're doing - keep it up man! Love watching these videos...

Just checked the gear mentioned in the description. It seems we are using the exact same laptop, keyboard and monitor. Great setup, especially the keyboard.

This the best how got into programming video ever. Someone actually talked about what exactly happened in the early days.

Funny thing, thats very similar to how this year started out for me. I'm currently studying computer science but in my option the practical part comes off badly. So I randomly found your videos about making a game engine from scratch and since then I am very passionate about deepening my c++/programming knowledge.

I've been programming since 4th grade in the United States, and I'm in college now. In my entire experience with school, I only ever met one other person who could program, and that was LUA. Other than that, I had a math teacher who actually worked in Silicon Valley. You don't find too many people who can understand programming and help you even though it has become such a demanding career choice among others. I essentially had to teach myself just about everything I know. I never took any classes for it. So to an extent, I say self-learning is more powerful; but by the same token assistance from those more experienced can really improve what you already know.

Thanks for fixing and reuploading

You are such an inspiration man

love your work !!👌👌

I figured your start involved Prelude of the Chambered. In your 3D programming series you pretty much increment on the code in the same sequence Notch used.

Notch's Ludum Dare was what got me into game programming too.

I was at dinner one night and I always used to tell my family how much I love coding (I had never coded in my life at the time) and then they said they would get me a online course. Little did I know how many great tutorials there were on youtube

i started when i was 17, I'm still 17, progress is hard, just got to pointers. college makes me do c, also, i started c++ like a month ago but classes take too much time, just yesterday i forcefully made time to learn c++ and found you, was learning c++ a month before as well

Stopped at 13:18 to say that I related almost *exactly* to everything you said. I followed the same general path that you did to where I am now. I'm still behind you in terms of experience, but so far, it's been the same experiences, in the same order. The one difference for me is that I started WAAY younger, and I'm in a prestigious specialty school (in high school) that is *supposed* to teach programming. It is an absolute joke, but so is all of the American education system. This semester, we don't even have a teacher, we have a long-term substitute. Two of our teachers last semester just quit, and the third that was supposed to take the last half of the year just never showed up for the job. And the teachers that we do occasionally get know so little that I feel an obligation to correct the misinformation that they feed to my classmates. /endrant

I had no prior knowledge with programing before Uni. And now I think that's only one thing I could imagine to do in my future life.

Thank your for sharing

for anyone who didnt catch the name of the game, its 'Prelude of the Chambered'. and the game competition is spelled as 'Ludum Dare'.

I'm 14. Started programming at 11. I started with java too. The video that you are talking about "Preluce of the chambered".. Yes that was the first video that I saw too. I coded along with the video a little bit, but then I got frustrated, because the video's resolution was too low, I was into minecraft too.Then I watched your videos to learn java for creating games from scratch...

Unreal has been out since the 90's I learned C++ in High School in 1999 (USA), but it was all shell stuff. I didnt learn GUI/3D stuff until college (CS degree).

Wow - You and I would have been best friends in High School. I too made many films with friends, loaded with whacked out scenarios and featuring copious amounts of horrible VFX. I attended Vancouver Film School with the ambition to make films in Hollywood or BC. Instead I got roped into working in the game industry as a cinematic artist/video producer. That rekindled a dream I had as a teenager to learn programming and make my own games! I came from a small town where tech was not a normal trade, thus access to people knowledgeable in computer science was virtually none-existent. I remember struggling to wrap my head around Visual Basic. Thankfully through Google, KZread and an infinite loop of persistence, I got over that hump! C++ is tough but wicked fun and very satisfying when you figure it out.

Underrated channel on yt

Talking about dedication and love here

I'm from the Czech Republic :D And I'm 16. I started learning programming when I was 11ish when I got a book about PHP for Christmas. It was about rewriting a static website to PHP with MySQL database for storing texts. (I already learned basics of HTML before, when I was 10, so I did understand the HTML code.) I don't know what I did when I was 12 and 13, maybe just some HTML or playing games. Then, when I was 14, I bought an old laptop (made in 2007), which is btw very loud, installed Ubuntu (it was very slow, I don't know how could I use that; later I used Xubuntu and now Windows 7) and started copying some C and C++ code. I copied some legacy OpenGL games (because the laptop supports OpenGL 2.0 or 2.1 at max). But unfortunately I copied whole files and not line by line (and I didn't study the code at all), so I didn't learn any of it. Now I want to learn modern C++ and DirectX 11 (maybe also 12), but the laptop is very old and the screen size is just 1280x800 and if I connect a Full HD monitor, it is unusable. If I try some basic DirectX examples in C++ found on the internet (and compile them in Visual Studio 2017 in Release mode and with maximum optimization), even the very simple example, that just clears screen with a color and renders something simple (triangle or rectangle) runs bad. And if I try a more complex example, it is unusable. I'll have to buy a new computer :D And I hope I finnish the high school, because I want to go to a university to learn more about programming :) (Now, at high school, I learn some basics of Pascal and algorithms generally.)

This is the best video in your channel.

Cool! Thanks for sharing! I don't think I've ever posted how I started out, but my experience with Java (when I eventually moved to it) was pretty much identical, but with modern Internet, I was able to learn everything, what it did, what it meant, and the syntax of everything in about two months back in December of 2016 and January of 2017, still practicing Java on and off now, but I prefer to just mess about with JavaScript for a few hours when ever I get the chance to just expand my knowledge and push it to its limits (I am a rightful expert in JS, and pretty much know everything there is to know in Java, as well as HTML, and CSS, but some other deprecated built-in languages of Microsoft Windows... :P :( ) 7:34AM 7/29/2017

Wow, that's some hardcore learning. I just got into programming because of school. In my school in the 3rd and 4th grade (from 6 grades) everybody got it class but it was first Word and Powerpoint and Excel. It was only at the end of the 4th grade that we learned programming with Pascal, and I honestly can't remember how I am supposed to write a program in Pascal. But I liked it so much that I took the extra programming classes in the fifth and sixth grade where we learned Java. But I wasn't really satisfied with that because the lessons were too slow and the teacher didn't explain it so well, so I started looking for other ways to learn to program: videos, online courses (btw. I wouldn't recommend online courses, I feel like I learned nothing from it. It's always the same basic programming concept in their fancy web editor which hides so many important details behind the scene). It was when I found a book over coding in Java that I actually learned how to program correctly, I learned so much from that book that I even helped the teacher explain things. I got into C++ because I wanted to learn how to render 3D graphics, so I started to learn OpenGL from an blog (which is another method I prefer over online courses) where I read about the concepts behind OpenGL, copied the code and tried to understand it, even though I didn't know C++ at the time. I looked up some tutorials on C++ to better understand the code I was writing but it was from the OpenGL code I wrote that I better got to understand the concepts behind pointers and references. And when I tried DirectX and the Windows API my insight into programming became more advance and Chernos videos now taught me so much more about C++ and the magic behind its compiler and linker that I now better understand (maybe fully understand) what I am doing. So thank you Cherno for your C++ series. Maybe Crash Course computer science was also a big influence because it taught me the how a computer works on the hardware level. (Really handy to know that when you're learning c or c++)

I remember doing the same thing with Python code. Reading things over and over and over and over again trying to understand code that I had no business trying to understand. Not sure it helped but I sure was eager haha.

I also remember watching these Notch's coding streams when I was at school learning how to program with different languages. During that time I had only made few primitive games with flash, forced visual basic course, c++ 101 course etc. Java experimentation followed that because of these streams made by Notch. Programming is just something I find really hard to get bored with. Currently doing c#/wpf desktop development during work hours & Unity/C# + OpenGL/C++ on my free time. You can't go wrong with programming, unless you are forced to use php/javascript (provocative opinion of mine, never again will I be forced to do web development)

wow that is fantastic u are the best

Complete your Game series season 2 !!!!

Kinda strange how I am at the age you started. I started with 10 (ofc. I didn't understand very much though). Back then I wanted to make minecraft mods and plugins for my server. That is why Java will be number one in my heart. But my interest started way back with the age of 4 or 5. I played my first ever video game on my snes and realised that I want to make games too. I think an other important factor was that my father is working in the informatic field.

I also learned programming from Java for Dummies. First time I read a technical 400 page book from start to finish.

The teachers do now teach programming in high school but they are really bad at their job. My school hired business teachers to teach coding and they have no idea how to code.

Hallo TRhe Cherno. Great story. I thiught you will also share the link to the video you had used to program the game.

notch's livestream to you was sort of like your FlappyBird video to me

Started with C++ in 2014-15? You're without a doubt the best source for learning it.

So many people learned the way you did in the 80's by copying code from Byte magazine and others. You couldn't copy paste like you said so you end up learning by mistyping, fixing bugs and having to figure out why something was working and then modding so to speak. Well done, keep at it, looking forward to the OpenGL series.

Can you tell me what kind of gear you're using to record this video the camera and lens

Thumbs up for making videos in nature

Hey, Cherno love the videos and I've watched many of them, but Christ your ego pops out of no where. Keep up the good work ;)

So funny, to me its THE EXACT opposite. I hated maths; I still suck at it, but I persevere with trial and error -- and I love that feeling when you finally solve it; but I am slow at creating mathematical algorithms. But I started programming when I was 10, seriously when I was 12 (6502 assembler on the C64, hacking the C64 to do back switching with another 64K (which cost an arm and leg back then)). And digital electronics and code just made sense to me. I am not one who likes what I do now, because everything is high-level, boring, slow overly convoluted bollocks; microservices, web front ends ugghhhh. I was an artist, still am, I played as a session musician and wanted to study music but didn't get into the royal conservatory. And by then my spot at the film academy was given to another person. So I decided to study electronics (there was no dedicated programming education back then in 1990 - but microelectronics had programming courses). And fastforward 26 years and I am now doing VFX and making films, whilst in parallel do IT consulting (as that pays the bills the best). But I don't get any joy anymore from IT. I only get joy from art.

I usually never comment but would like to share my thoughts on this. I have been struggling with similar self doubt. I too started programming at an early age but didn't get this far until much later than his age of 22-23. I can explain it with depression, lack of support, not really being a member of the family etc. but what's important is that you keep trying and don't focus on "how much better everyone else is". If you haven't tried learning anything until now, we'll it's a great time to start! You will be surprised how capable you are once you start focusing on you and your challenges and ignore "how everyone else is doing". If you try and fail, try again, but better or from another angle. Mimic what those "better than you" are doing, just like Cherno did From Notch, you will eventually start standing on your own legs. It might take 2 years, it might take a few months, but you will as long as you keep at it. I have kept this vague because I can say from experience that this applies to a lot of other situations and subjects than programming. I might add that if you don't know what your passion is, then try different things: sculpting, programming, writing, drawing, martial arts, dancing. Even if you liked none of those you will learn something and you will eventually find what your passion is, it might surprise you - it might even be math / physics.
