I first started programming when I was probably about 10, but maybe a little older. I had gotten into pinball and I really wanted to make my own games, and after a long time of searching I finally found Future Pinball. It uses Visual Basic, and came with an extensive manual that lists pretty much everything you need to know about scripting every object, so learning the basics wasn't too hard. I figured the rest out just by looking at the code from other games and asking for help online. Today I'd say that I know the basics, but there's still a lot more I can learn about VB. The main thing though is that it introduced me into the programming world, and taught me the basics of programming in general.
