Hey all! First I'll introduce myself :P
I'm AriX, a 12-year-old programmer. I use Linux, Mac, and Windows, although primarily Mac.
I program in HTML (I know, I know), JavaScript, AJAX, PHP (and MySQL), VB, AppleScript & AppleScript Studio, Batch, Bash, some Perl, and I'm learning C.
I started using computers when I was 2 years old. I played all those old little kid games :P When I was 6/7, I lost interest in playing games, and instead learned how to use the internet and customize my Windows PC. When I was 7, I learned HTML and commandline FTP. When I was 10, I learned PHP and MySQL, and when I was 11 and 12 (which I am now), I learned all the rest :P I switched to my MacBook about three quarters of a year ago.
I made my first released app, the iPod Application Manager when I was 11. You can find it at http://ipodlinux.org/iPod_Application_Manager. (The server is currently down, I'm working on it) When I released it, it was a very popular app, but because I have failed to update it often, it isn't quite as popular anymore (although I still get ~100 uses a day). One of the cool things about the iPod Application Manager is that when it goes to install an app onto your iPod, it first downloads a file telling it the versions of all the recent apps, and then once you decide what app to install, it downloads the latest version of the app from the internet and installs it, so that I don't have to update the iAM if a new release of an app comes out.
More recently, (a couple months ago), I wrote a new app, the iPodLinux Manager. The iPodLinux Manager, based on the iPod Application Manager, installs iPodLinux onto your iPod. To find out more about iPodLinux, visit http://ipodlinux.org/, and to find the iPodLinux Manager, visit http://ipodlinux.org/iPod_Application_Manager. A Mac version of both iPod apps will be out soon.
Now obviously this work hasn't earned me a single penny like it has for the other posters in the forum, but it has earned me some respect on iPodLinux, especially once I revealed my age :P
I'm not going to tell you all about everything I've ever done, because that would take ~forever to write :eek: :p
Instead, I'll skip to what I am doing now. I am currently working with others on two projects, SquareMint, a web design company, at http://squaremint.com/, and MintMerge, a collaboration solution similar to Basecamp.
That's all I'm going to write about my online life for now, but there's TONS more, like Aqua-Gero, WinX, Aqua-Soft, OSX-E, MacHeist, theAmazon, iHeist, InsanelyMac/OSX86Project, Rhapsody, and a _lot_ more :P
