Where and which language did you first learn to code/program ?

>>60019440
i learned html in internet cafees back in early 00s

>>60019440
C, by myself, when i was 16.

Jabba

It's okay but C is much nicer

>>60019440
My first ever language was COBOL, then VB.net and C#.
But it was JS that helped me to grasp the programming.
Wish I just started with plain C first.

>>60019440
COBOL with a friend of mine, but I only started to really understand how programs work with C at the uni

>>60019440
C

basic, on a zx spectrum 128k, started learning when i was 5 or 6, my dad taught me

my first real language was pascal at about 11-12, and i learned it using my mums old college notes

C, school when I was 15.

>>60019440
My first real programming language was C#. I learned it in a vocational school that I attended for half of my school day, the other half being spent at burgerland highschool.

Before then I had briefly been teaching myself vbscript (that old shit, not vb.NET) and batch.

>>60019440
Turbo Pascal 7.0, at the school's programming club.

learned ruby on rails at an intensive coding bootcamp (cost about $10k)

probably going to try to teach myself regular ruby next.

>>60019440
BASIC on an Amstrad computer
T-typing RUN counts, right?

>>60019440

C, when I was ~15, in my room at my mom's house

VB6, school

>>60019440
Perl.

>>60019440
C++ when I was like 15 in my parent's house guest room
>>60020131
$10k? what the fuck?

>>60019440
Brainfuck

>>60019440

In front of my father's computer

>which language
QuickBASIC

Later I got my own computer of course, and with Windows 95 came also Visual Studio and Visual Basic.

>>60019440
FORTRAN

Qbasic in high school for an intro programming class, I wrote Tetris using gotos (didn't learn about functions until later). Was buggy as fuck.

>>60019440
Mirc scripts
Anyone else /msl/?

>>60019440
I was 17 and checked out a BASIC book from the school library.

>>60019440
C++

Actionscript with adobe flash
I wanted to make gaymes

Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, from the back pages of Radio & Electronics Magazine. First actually had a program running in silicon a couple of years later on a Sinclair ZX-80.

>>60019440
C when I was 12

Visual Basic in college.

>>60019653
How? Are you the next Steve Jobs?

C when i was 3, im pretty much the smartest guy in the worl

>>60019440
c when i was 14. now i'm happy with haskell at home and i earn my bucks with java. c was nice to get basic computer understanding, but its too low level for the things i do nowadays.

You're going to laugh but BASIC.

>>60019440
Java when I was 10, bad.
After that I learned QBasic when I was 12, vastly superior.

>>60021265
Now when you grow out of puberty, you might want to try a real man's language like C.

>>60019653
>>60019653
what the book did you used ?

>>60019440
Java in highschool, took a babby blocks of code course and took a second course using eclipse (which was on par with the precious hand holding.)

Java is perceived as bad but its object based style gave me a super boost through my programming classes in university.

>>60019440
Python. It's not really powerful but I feel like it's basic enough for a learning program, but advanced enough that it'll weed out anyone isn't meant for programming.

>>60019440
I've learned to kode with Klossy.

PHP in elementary school.

Batch firstly. was easy to do and allowed basic fucking with PCs

VB, then Python 2.7/3.6 now I know C# too.

Python & C# are the better ones though

I tried Python like 2 years ago with automate the boring stuff.
But like a boring book. Most of it sorta left my head.
You know? Like when there at boring parts in books and you zone out so you have to read it again. That happened quite a bit... Was also not motivated at all.

BASIC then Z80a assembler

Is 25 too old to start learning programming?

>>60022642
Nah, but please stay away and do something else, I don't need any more competitors.

>>60022642
Fun fact: there are retired people out there writing Python as a hobby.

>>60022655
15 year olds in Asia and Eastern Europe are becoming more skilled than the average western CS grad and they will work for pennies, you should be worried about them

>tfw don't know how to program
Am I certifiably retarded (i.e. eligible for gobernment gibs) if I have trouble with chapter 1 of SICP? Those math problems and visualizing those basic procedures is so hard for me but they're like mid-chapter brain teasers in a basic, introductory course for children going to MIT.

>>60022742
For the average person SICP needs to be read multiple times over the course of a decade to be fully understood

>>60021141
it's not that unusual to learn C at the age of 15/16 desu

BASIC,started learning it with vic20 and Dos Microsoft basic

Still coding with it lol
I'm using it for PIC programming.
'small' diy automations in my home.
Small for you maybe, but i had to learn how to convert analog values to digital, lcd interfacing, writing/reading variables in memory . What a pain in the ass, but my projects worked!

I did a 12v Christmas lights pwm drive ,
and later a more complex home solar power load management controller with a 16f876

I did use Mikrobasic 4 pic compiler, nice program.

I'm planning to build a more complex load manager for my home solar installation using the pic 16f877, all in basic again

>>60019440
Highschool Java.

>>60019440
Self taught C++ 2 years ago.

I still have the first major program I wrote. It Solves basic sudokus and I was pretty proud of myself at the time.
I look back on it now, just to remind myself how easy it is to write absolute shit that works.
>1300 lines long
>1 file
>Barely any use of objects

I re-wrote the same thing in C last month, with a file parser and kept it at 400 lines.
Why anyone thinks teaching Beginners OO based languages is beyond me.

Lua, in intermediate school playing Roblox at lunch when I was maybe 12

>>60022642

Nah, 25 month is not to late.

I started programming with about 36 month, but I was working pretty hard and was fluent with C++ when I reached elementary school.

What ?

>>60023084
know that feel bro... totally sux when any sudoku can be solved with ~70 bytes of code

university
java

learned a bit of JavaScript when I was 12. realized it wouldn't take me as deep into computing as I wanted to go, then got into C and assembly x86. but then life and now I don't give a shit anymore. hoping I will again sometime because it was admittedly kinda fun to make stuff and solve problems.

C when I was 19 in University

Haha I learn to put shutdown.exe in startup folder is this counted

Middle school. Liberty BASIC.

Anyone got good resources for starting out with C? I learned python for about a month, this last few days I've been learning c++, but after reading about C, I really want to give it a try. I think it will give me a strong understanding of the fundamentals to build off of before I go to college. I talked to a guy in the comp sci program there, apparently they start with Java, which I figure will be a walk in the park if I can get a decent foundation built before the semester starts.

BASIC, when I was 16 (becouse HTML doesn't count right?)
I learned C++ when I was 19

>>60019440
learnt BASIC from parents math textbook using DOS QBASIC on 386 PC in mid 90s

>>60019440
Pascal in high school, about 17 years ago.

Started using C++ when I was 11 to become a hacker (lol). Picked up JavaScript in 7th grade for creating MySpace themes then Tumblr themes.

Still use C++ and JavaScript quite frequently.

in secondary school, learned python.

>>60024894

Knowing C won't help you with java at all. It's not tough, but it's pretty different. You'd be better off learning C# if you want something to overlap with java.

>>60019440
can't remember. it was either vb6 or php early 2000s

I'm too embarrassed to say..

Gradeschool using JavaScript. I wanted to learn something else but went for JavaScript because the computers didn't allow you to install software but they all already had Notepad and IE

is gml considered a language

>>60019440
Holy C

Pascal. In school.

VB6 in middle school because I wanted to make AOL Botz.
