I remember having a Commodore 64 when I was a kid, and the instruction manual came with a simple program you could write which would make your name scroll down the monitor. In those days, that was pretty high tech, and I remember being pretty proud of myself.

I remember making a simple Thief story in Basic

But, I think what I would consider my first game was a GTA-esque game done entirely in ASCII in which your main goal was to kill hobos

My first program ever is:
10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD" in QBASIC.
And I agree with MM357 that it taught me programming skills at a VERY young age.

The classic. "Hello world" in C.

Yes, and then those BEEP routines on the Spectrum 48k!

My first ever programme is "hello world" programme in c when in my first class in college. That was quite hard for me that day hehe.

Definitely Hello World...lol...it is possibly the most common app ever built...my first ever real app was a doctor's office though.

Oooh memories! My first pc was a 386 SX-25. Windows 3.1

I discovered QBASIC. And that was that. Hooked. Now I'm a flash designer!

My first qbasic program was a menu. I remember I used screen 13, which was a video mode that allowed you to use 255 simultaneous colours in a 320x240 resolution. It was very cool. Then I got into all the neat graphics routines.

I wrote my first program during the two weeks after I got a complete newbie job as trainee programmer, and was waiting to go on my first course.
I dug out an assembler manual for our NCR-Elliott 4100, and wrote a program to read in a paper tape punched with codes representing musical notes, then play the tune on the computer's monitor loudspeaker.
That was 40 years ago, and I'm still having fun...

I wrote a command line program to calculate numbers, when I did IT in college.

Kind Regards.
