Ok Which was very your first programming language?
-
Mine was GW-Basic... :laugh:
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#

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 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.

Metro RSSBasic and the closely similar Focal on a PDP-8/I (1970 age 15). The DEC machine was available to us via teletype for 8 hours a day from a nearby community college. No online storage - offline was 7-bit punch tape. Later, Basic on a Spectra 70 and Fortran on the IBM 360 (1972).
In theory, theory agrees perfectly with practice. In practice, this is virtually never the case.

Dang, Rob beat me to it! Autocoder on an IBM 1440 in 1967.

Ok, you beat me My first programming language was Fortran IV on an IBM 365/65 in early '74, however I also worked with punch cards! The crazy teacher had us keep track of the number of runs it took to get a successful run, anything over 3 resulted in a down-grade :(. Obviously he was an extremely big fan of desk checking your code. Not real bright though, he relied on the honor system for the students to report their number of runs ;)
