When I was a kid I played around with HTML and CSS a bit... not really programming, but contributed to an Animal Crossing fan site and forum. 😂
The first true programming language I learned was Scheme in C211 at Indiana University. I remember being frustrated at the time at the lack of constructs like
forloops, but now appreciate getting exposed to functional paradigms early on.It was QBasic. My dad use had a few programming magazines and you could copy the code from there to get a full working game. So I spent hours typing just to realise that I had misspelt something and it wouldn't work, so I had to start over.
It was so much fun.
For me it was BASIC, and I learned on an Apple 2 GS (which cost around $2000 back then), and the second language it was Pascal, in the 7th grade my mom got me into a community college for audit (they wouldn't let me take it for credit because of my age).
Autohotkey. Made some utilities to help with video editing and data entry. Wasn't until later that I wanted to make an app for someone else that I realized some formal training at a bootcamp would help set me in a good direction.
I'm learning python and learning neural networks and machine learning
In early highschool I started to play around with
.batfiles usingGOTOs and thinking I was a pro hacker by changing the console colors X'DC64 basic for me, I typed so many programs out of magazines back in the mid 80s as a teenager...
Commodore's BASIC
Here is how it went for me
C -> Python -> C++ -> C# -> HTML, CSS -> JS -> Go ||
I use Python the most. Then C++, JS
Q-Basic
