How did you get started on programming ? What was the first language that you have learned ?

weblord · 09-04-06, 12:28 AM

I started 1989 it was in the college days, I started with of course the gwbasic, pascal, masm and cobol. Computer and Programming are my first love until now when suddenly came the internet.

I have to write down all those initialization lines before I get started on my "cheat" book, it's difficult to memorize and when I do programs I usually have lots of reference books for me. I know Im good in English grammar but not so good in computer language grammar.

My first language is Pascal. Then started learning others by reading books and more books. Yes, books help if you need help

I took apart open source coding until I finally learned the languages... But with webdesign I started with the HTML and Webmonkey tutorials!

Well, the first language I learnt was ActionScript. Now, I knew a bit of HTML and Visual Basic. But I never did learn them thoroughly, I used a lot of references when coding.

I started in 1999, a little C and Java, then I discovered the Internet, HTML basics, then Javascript, PHP and Mysql.
