Qbasic, then pascal, then c, then vb, then c++ and vc++
C, then C++... now - addicted to perl...
basic on the c64, logo (is that a language or a pastime?) moving the turtle around was ridiculous.
when i grew up: VB, html, xml, java, going into scripting for AS400 and C++
Perl here, and still learning actually :)
My first computer was a TRS 80 CoCo 3, a hell of a opwerful computer when it first came out. The big thing then was a form of BASIC, and MAN was it a frustrator to use.
I'd say if you're getting started nowadays, C++ or VBasic are the way to go.
Anybody know how C# works for newbies? And what are the major differences from versions before this?
Well HTML was my first programming-related thing, then JavaScript...etc
AppleSoft II. It was a licensed copy of Microsoft BASIC with graphic routines for the Apple. It was installed in the ROM of my first computer, an Apple II+. I still have the programming manual even though it is twenty years old. Sice then I have learned Pascal, C, C++, Visual Basic, Paradox, FoxPro, and Access. Working on XML and ColdFusion.
Dating myself horribly......
Basic, then some Fortran, then a smattering of Cobol, and onto RPG II.
Currently C++ and beating myself up with Linux
Visual Basic..
I'm 13, but C/C++ is what im learning now. It's so fun :). So it'll be my first language.
