Ok Which was very your first programming language?

Metro RSSWhatever version of BASIC was used on the GE, yes General Electric made computers at one time, Timesharing service in 1970. When I went on to University it was IBM 360 Assembler, COBOL, and PL/I.

FORTRAN IV, in the IVth form at a private school in Delaware, where we students who were taking the class were granted hands-on, unsupervised access, punching our cards, loading compilers, AFIT subroutines in this air-conditioned room in the basement. The best lesson was discovering that the world didn't end when I made the machine crash (the first time was an accident, honest!), and then demonstrated that fact to my friends. Repeatedly - that flashing red button was pretty cool! (and nobody outside the room was the wiser). That empowering discovery (crash, restart) transformed the great and powerful OZ (aka IBM 360) into a simple man behind the curtain ("pay no attention..."), and ever since, no machine has ever intimidated me. Except that one portable kitchen mixer I couldn't put back together, after I opened the case and this little spring flew out...

Metro RSSTAPS, Three Address Programming System, for an IBM 650. 1961. The IBM 650 was a drum machine with 2,000 word capacity. The third address was the address of the next instruction, one had to be concerned with the length of time of the current instruction took to execute so you would not waste a complete revolution.

Metro RSSIBM Assembly in the late 60's. Followed by Fortran - compared to assembly I thought it was easy. Apple Basic in '79 - I thought the immediate results was magic compared to waiting a day or two to run a Fortran program on a mainframe. I also custom hacked the Basic Assembly Code which Apple loaded from a ROM into RAM.

I've used a couple of variations of basic mainly back when I was using HPs to control test equipment. Other than that tried to stay away from it. My last job I used an old version of Visual Basic and it had progressed quite a bit but like the C based languages a lot better. C/C++/C#

I also recall at some stage, I think a year or so later, I got a ZX spectrum or 80 (the small one). It was highly entertaining when I manage to change the text from 'STOP THE TAPE' to STOP THE SHlT' to display on the TV. Provided endless laughs for me and my sister till we somehow broke it 2 months later. Needless to say, my dad did not think it was good thing for us to touch computing devices. Then many years later after university, I rediscovered my lost love :)
Fortran II on an IBM 1130 in 1965. Ran finite element programs on a 64Kb core and 1Mb hard drive. Programs on punched cards.

Metro RSSMy first programming language was BASIC on a VIC-20 in 1980, followed by a similar BASIC on the Apple II and 6502 assembly language on both. I learned programming by porting games from one system to the other. And, remember how software used to be sold? As a code listing in a book, and you typed in the code yourself? I learned programming from that - mostly by re-writing games so I could cheat :) Somewhere around here I still have the code listing from "World Power" - if you remember that.

Metro RSSTRS-80 Model 1 Level 1 BASIC.. Was about 5-6 years old when I inherited it from my dad. 4K memory and a cassette drive. 10 INPUT "WHAT IS YOUR NAME? ";A$ 20 PRINT "HELLO ";A$;"..." 30 END At that age, making the computer do the magic stuff really blew my mind.
