What programming lang. you learned first?
2007-02-23, 6:59 PM #1
I think the first one I learned was Piet, pretty useless thing.

Now, I'm using C.

So, what did you start off with?

English, never heard of such programming language.

I'm not sure if it counts as a true programming language, but a few years ago I learned Visual Basic (old-school 6.0, not .net)

I'm currently learning perl and php.

No, really, PHP would be as close as I could get to claiming proficiency in any programming language.

I don't know if it really counts, but I know a little action-script.

That's a scripting language.

The first programming language I learned was Java. I'm not sure VB6.0 could ever really be considered a programming language.

Started on VB 4. Did a little bit of C++, and now I do C#.

Oh and I learned...C++ first I think. No actually I first started learning programming on Lego DACTA. Basically I wrote instructions that moved robotic Legos. I got good at it too. I made an assembly line like robot, a traffic signal, and uhh...**** I forgot what else I made.
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

Uhhh ... I can't even remember anymore. I THINK it was C. But that was in sixth or seventh grade, a good half-decade ago.

I ended up learning C, C++, Java, Perl, PHP, plus a few markup languages.

Perl was the first one that I really got into, but I soon switched over to PHP and have basically adopted that as my language of choice for the past four or so years.

Well, since scripting and markup languages don't count, the only programming I know of (and very little of) is C++. I took a class on it a few years ago and I sadly don't remember jack about it anymore.

Visual Basic 6, unfortunately. It was a rude awakening heading to Java the next year.

BasicA.

No, I don't expect you to know what it is. It's came integrated into the shell on some IBM pre-windows machines the same way quickbasic was on others.

I got this little Basic interpreter when I was like in 6th grade called Chipmunk Basic. It was a fun little thing :D

Now I'm learning C++ in school and next year it'll be Java.

I know what it is.

Microsoft/IBM BASICA -> Microsoft GW-BASIC -> Microsoft Professional BASIC IDE (or something like that) -//-> Microsoft QuickBasic (Commercial, never free; stripped down Pro) -//-> Microsoft QBasic (Free version of QBasic)

[Professional] -> Visual Basic -----// // <- Train tracks

BASICA, but then switched to GW-BASIC

I played around with Delphi and PHP
Then I learned Java at university
Then I learned Bash at university
Then I learned Perl at university
Then I learned ML at university
Then I learned C at university
Then I learned Prolog at university
Then I learned MATLAB at university
I imagine i'll be forced to learn PHP properly at some point, or Ruby.

QBASIC was the first I ever really knew. I also dabbled in BasicA and GWBasic. They sucked compared to QBASIC, since that had a real IDE. I suppose I could have used edit and ran it from the command line, but I was using an XT at the time and there wasn't much RAM for multitasking.

It was called HyperCard and was for Macintosh, it was the awesomest thing ever back in the day and I even knew how to program really weird stuff with it.

Then I got into PC gaming and forgot it. Oh well, not a big deal. It was fun while it lasted.

VB --> C/C++ --> Java

I'm currently reading a book on Ruby.

Probably either Basic or C++, depending on whether "learning" includes making the computer imitate the seraphic noise of retarded hyena babies being tasered in the face.

I learned BASIC from some "Learn BASIC from Strange Cartoon Characters" program. Then I moved on to QBASIC. After that it was C++ at a computer camp, Perl on my own, and Java in highschool. And of course I picked up some Brain**** on the way.

Right now I use C[++] and Perl. I'm also slowly teaching myself Assembly.

Now that it's been mentioned, I did write some pretty stupid programs in QBASIC, but I wouldn't call that proficiency. :p

C++
But I've forgotten half of it :D

Basci on the C-64. Though I wouldn't really say that I was any good with it.

I was in the exact same boat. Since then I have hit Java, C, C++, C#, Ruby, MIPS Assembly, and a few others.
