9 year old is iPhone’s youngest software author

software author Most children his age may draw pictures on paper with crayons, but nine-year-old Lim Ding Wen has a very different canvas.

The primary school student from Singapore writes applications for Apple�s iPhone, and his latest project, a painting program called Doodle Kids, has been downloaded over 4,000 times from Apple�s iTunes store in just two week. He states he derives inspiration by creating programs for his sisters, ages 3 and 5, to doodle with.

This whiz-kid has actually completed 20 different programs.in 6 different programming languages (including Javascript and ActionScript), which for a 9-year old is impressive enough. He started on a computer at age 2, and by 7 was actively programming on one.

The apple doesn�t fall far from the tree: his father also works for a tech company writing iPhone applications, and father and son compete to see who has more downloads of their respective apps.

Lim is currently writing another iPhone app - a space race game called Invader Wars.
