In what language did you write your first program?

Question

I wrote my first program in Basic on a C64. The next thing was MS shell, then Pascal. Much later Python. How about you?

Answer 1

ZX Spectrum Basic. First one was retyped code (from a small book) that played simple melody. First melody was Sabredance by Khachaturyan. :-) Then there was Pascal in school (schools, universities here have been widely using pascal for educational purposes. So then I used Borland Delphi and was amused by RAD (rapid application development) and visual compositioning of interfaces (windows). Then I was lucky enough to study C++ (not Pascal) in university and SQL too (database designing and development). I worked with SCADA/HMI and PLCs (Ladder Diagramm language). Then I started to study myself PHP to use in my qualifying work in university, and of course there was some Javascript 'cause I used web-interface (no need to mention HTML and CSS). After that I started to like Java. I was taking some courses after university (Web-development and Java). And in other on-line courses I met Python. It was needed to finish that course (web development a little bit and Linux). I hope to study Swift one day. And who knows what will be next? ... ;-) Update: Oh, I forgot C#, but I studied only basics (finished course here at Sololearn) when was trying to get a job where C# was needed. But got "no" because of my age! O_o Am I too old at 37? :-/

Answer 2

I wrote my first program in fortron, then basic on a ZX80 and comodor 64,following by Pascal and c c++ . Much later Java.
I use assembly language for microcontrollers

Answer 3

QuickBasic. It was parody on snake.
I didnt knew arrays at that moment, so it was just running dot with increasing speed ^_^

Answer 4

ZX Spectrum BASIC. Oh...and BBC Micro BASIC as well.

Answer 5

I don't even think my first one was a language exactly, it was through a website that allowed you to make a chatbot. Although it allowed for *some* advanced stuff, all I was doing was making it "if user says this, say that". I was 12 I think.

Answer 6

Reference my previous answer. Nearly all schools in the UK had a BBC Micro - they were even networked! My Dad used to buy me magazines with the code for games to type in. Even machine code as well. Sadly they hardly ever worked.

Answer 7

"I wrote my first program in fortron, then basic on a ZX80." ZX80! That brings back memories.

Answer 8

mine was written in C language in my 1st year of college.
that was so exciting for me because first time I was okay with codes and that are work as I program. it was amazed me to passion of programming.

Answer 9

visual basic a joke virus :)

Answer 10

I started with C.

When I started programing, I wanted to learn a language that had the reputation of being fast powerful and could be used in many forms.

Answer 11
