I started getting into programming when I was around 6 years old. How did it happen that you got interested in programming? At your age this talk has not only made you famous as one of the youngest programmers, but also made you the youngest enthusiast who encourages other people to program. We couldn’t miss the chance to catch Shadaj and ask him a few questions for our blog about Scala, learning programming, game development, math and science.Īt OSCON 2014 you gave a splendid opening keynote “The Wonders of Programming”. If you’ve been to Scala Days in Berlin this year, you might have seen a great talk “ Serious Fun with Scala” by a 14 years old Shadaj Laddad, Scala enthusiast and wunderkind.
