I started with VB for the very basic concepts of programming, learning this basically involved sitting there asking my dad how to do everything.
Then I started to take up Java to make plugins for hMod, I learned Java initially by helping others who were just as bad as me, I looked up their questions online and tried to figure it out with them, this way I learned the basics of Java plugin making, though I still didn't really understand Java.
I then moved away from the community and worked by myself, just using Google to make my own games and plugins.
If I ever made anything I was proud of, I would release it, but behind each project I was proud of was 10 that most likely failed miserably. But I learned the most from them.
That's pretty much it, google from then on outwards...

Well I started when I got my first computer, a Commodore 64 (Old school, I know) and I was looking at all the things I could do (mostly really crappy games). I had bought a bunch of books on customizing your PC (hardware, mostly). I toyed around with the little things for months, when my brother came over and dumped a bunch of books off. They were mostly coding books for C-64 Basic. A couple years later, my parents bought me a windows 98 and a copy of Doom and Quake. I began playing the crap outta the games, then i decided I was going to modify the games. I realized that you could change most of the programming in games and add your own content. The years went by, I began to learn C++ and BOO, about 2009, I started making a game in Gamemaker, which was originally supposed to be a competitive MMOFPS as a clone of Quake 3, which used the U3D extension for Full 3D compatibility. 2010 rolled along and I found a game callled Garry's mod. I read that the game allowed players to make addons using Lua and source SDK. I began to learn Lua so I could create awesome DarkRP servers and Clockwork HL2RP servers (Which I still do). And then I got hired by HellZone RP to help code there HL2RP. Time kept going and a few months later, I found Computer Craft, when i started trying at Lua A LOT more then I had previously. And here I am now. I dont claim to be a pro either, considering I haven't done much lua for a while now (+ my major disappearance from the fourms). I was actually during my time of offline for about a year, was busy with post-secondary schooling, and work etc.
Also, nobody is a pro at coding. The learning never stops. You will never know everything about Lua!

When I do start?:
I started programming since I was 8 years old, My First Programming Language that I used is Visual Basics 2008
I started my VB OS called Atom OS. Basic is the awesome programming language for Beginners. When I was 11
I saw ComputerCraft I am just typing Computers for Minecraft then I saw Computercraft.. Then I am studying all Programming Languages besides VB. now when I am 12 years old. I have created Armian OS version 5.4 (old version of Armian OS) then I downloaded the CCEmu.
now I am creating Programs for Armian OS, And I am creating an OS for Computercraft was called by Armian OS Lua Edition version 7.1
Canonical and Armian was been joined together to make new Softwares
Canonical.inc is the creator of Ubuntu
Ian Sapelino is the creator of Armian OS
I am just studying by myself though. I am only a 12 years old kid but I know programming since I was 8 years old..
God gave me the gift of knowledge so Pray Always and maybe someday you will have the gift like me
I created Armian OS it was a linux distro you can download it in:

God Bless..

That's my story.
I improved on my skills by reading online and a few books (there wasn't many programming books at my local library).

I've made some pretty cool games.
I can code in a few languages:
Lua
GameMaker
Batch
Some java
I probably get it from my dad, seeing as he's a very technical guy. He's programmed a few games, and made his own programs and some other things like that.
Me and him now use Codea for iOS. It is probably the most useful application for coding and probably the only decent one that uses Lua.
I also want to get a Raspberry Pi, it's a small computer that you can program to control robots, run OS's and games. You plug it into a monitor with a keyboard and mouse. You should take a look at it if you don't know what it is. It's like $40.
Edit: Opps, sorry, probably should've used edit shouldn't of I. Sorry.

In college I learned 20+ languages, most of them obsolete, which taught me how to pick up new languages.
- Look at examples.
- Read docs.
- Read tutorials.
- Have a friend who knows more than you (or if a flesh-and-blood programmer friend isn't available, get friendly on a forum).
- Challenge yourself.
- Have fun.
