A 12-year-old Ethan Duggan made a name for himself after his successful achievement as a programmer at an early age of 11-years-old even without the formal study on programming. He was named as one of the speaker in SXSW Vegas together with his father Rick Duggan.

According to an article from VentureBeat, Ethan learned to code at an early age of 11 through online training at Codecademy.com. Ethan learned to code “in about two to three months” during his summer vacation between fifth and sixth grade.

He got schooled in HTML, CSS, Javascript and many more. He put up his skills to use with PhoneGap, a framework for building cross-platform mobile apps for iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone with web technologies.

Ethan Duggan made his first application when he was just 11 years old, his first app is the Lazy Husband which according to the kid, he will make a follow up with Lazy Wife and Lazy Kid.

Aside from his successful project, Ethan is also planning to release his latest app, Bargument, a cool app that will help you win any argument in a bar, even if you’re too young to get through. To win a “bargument,” all you have to do is open the app, type the “fact” that you want to prove, and then show your friends the “proff” in a fake, but very authentic-looking-Wikipedia article.

The 12-year-old self-taught programmer admitted that his new project the Bargument app is a little more sophisticated than the Lazy trio, it was built on different framework, AppGyver. Ethan Duggan also thanked his father who is full support with his endeavor. Ethan’s father, Rick Duggan is a former developer who now leads the web development team at Vegas-based Zappos.

Ethan and his father Rick Duggan spoke at SXSW Vegas, in a presentation titled “Never too young to build a startup with your kids.” The father and son tandem is looking forward to a bright future in programming.
