Young Web Developers in the UK :)

  • Is there any other young (14 yrs old) web developers out there from the UK? I am fluent in CSS/HTML/JS(inc jQuery)/PHP, (my sites www.teepeestudios.net btw) if you have similar talents then add me on Twitter (@tompntn) and we can help and discuss each others work etc... maybe make a small blog or forum or something... Know it's a long shot but worth a try :)
  • Hiya

    Younger than you in US, female. :P

    I don't have a twitter, but you can check out my website at http://knittingfrenzy18.webatu.com

    Glad to meet you!

    Just call me Red.

  • I feel like @chriscoyier provided a link for younger web devs... it was a podcast, I think? Can't remember what it's called!
  • I recently made a website for young web developers to hang out at www.youngwebbuilder.com/forum
  • Turned 18 a month ago, thanks for making me feel old OP :D

    I started with css, html, js and php when I was around 14/15 too.

    You can afford your own .com website? I am jealous, I can only dream of owning such things.

    I've always done it all for a hobby though, I've developed several systems, started out with MySql, now I hate it and prefer flat filing with .log text files.

    ##Edit: I am UK based, I forgot to add. I'm from Saaawwwffff London, you probably saw the burning buildings on the tv last Summer Time.
  • I too turned 18 last month! - and have been creating websites since I was about 14 also.

    And today, I actually have a full time job as a front-end web designer...

    So my advice for anyone who's just starting out would be to just stick with it. It can be quite surprising how a hobby can turn into a career so quickly!

    I'm from the UK too by the way :)
  • How did you get into an actual job Ross?

    I've got absolutely no connections or clues as to how to get started in life, I can get the grades but my family has no ties to anywhere it seems.
  • Wow. You are incredible people.
  • I started when I was 15, but now I'm 30. I still feel young though.
  • Anyone looked at the new funding in the UK?
