#152Sometimes I'm a bit skeptical about these kinds of posts "I'm X age, I made this". I feel like, why would a 14 year old want to make sure his age is on the post title?. It's not that extraordinary I think, I mean it's great that his doing this, but it's not that un-ordinary, sometimes it seems like someone else is driving this for promo.
I agree. If you've made a good app, its merit will stand on its own. The fact that people believe their age to be the most remarkable aspect of the development of their product raises flags. If any things, it just seems like an attempt to artificially lower standards. Your age doesn't matter. Your product does.
I completely agree.
The initial rush of being X years old and a programmer soon wears off. For those young people who are serious about programming, age becomes more of an impediment, rather than a badge of honor.
If you broadcast that you are X years old, sometimes people will not take your work seriously. Sometimes they won't hire you. Sometimes people will take advantage of you. This is why, at some point, it's important to abstract away age from your work.

#153well done!

Or you use Visual Studio Express C# which is free. Visual Studio (payed) combines all tools, all languages together and works with git, sourcesafe and many, many things more. Or if you're a startup, you can receive all Windows stuff for free ;) (so you don't have to pay)
That's interesting! How can you get all the visual studio for free if you are a start up?
I think he's referring to the BizSpark program: http://www.microsoft.com/bizspark/

#155Excellent job!
Keep your drive, motivation, and by all means keep launching your software! You will go much farther than most people.
I also started teaching myself programming at 14. 16 years later, I cannot imagine doing anything else.

#156That's awesome, I'm 14 too and I made an iPhone app, happy to know I'm not the only one!

#157Good job, I don't have an iDevice to test it but it looks more professional than what I managed at 14!

I'm currently working in a Revision Control software in Go (While learning the language), I'll push it to Github when I have a somewhat working prototype.
Interesting. What from those fields are you applying to revision control?
I'm not really implementing any Machine Learning to the project, it's not related.

I'm curious too. Semantic diffs maybe? (This change affects control flow, this one doesn't; this change adds complexity, this one removes it.) Something like that would be useful for getting an overview of a project's evolution, instead of highlighting major commits only in terms of lines changed (often just a meaningless refactor.)
Basically I started with the things I like from Git, I simplified them and I ditched everything else: It's a personal project so I can learn Go.
