    Four of them at once (computer engineering degree) in 1979... ICL System 4 machine code, ICL System 4 Assembler, BASIC II(?) on a RadioShack TRS80 and DEC PDP-8 machine code. Oh what fun it was. I did do some Fortran (but not so sure about that) in my last year of high school (1978)but it was aminiscule amount so I don't really count it.

          FORTRAN IV on a CDC mainframe at school in 1969. Went on to use assembler for the next 15 years while learning Pascal and C.

                TI-Basic (1981) on a TI-99/4A. I miss that computer... :^)

                Me too! I was in about 9th grade. I used to write little programs to solve math and physics homework. It was a real pain to load/save programs via cassette. I used to love playing the Scott Adams Adventure games. I actually bought the TI-Extended Basic cartridge, but I don't remember using it much. Years later when I started at uni in comp sci, Basic was the first programming course I took.

                  It was ALGOL60 (on a british NE503) in 68. Later (70) FORTRAN II on the CDC3300. Manfred (age 70)

                    Basic on outdated Apple|| compatible machine, then QBasic on 286 machine, that was during secondary education. Both courses were part of compulsory curriculum and sucked, though I've learned how to make never-ending loop. Therefore I consider Fortran as my first programming language (entry-level college course), because I actually learned something.

                    Hi, My first programming language was Basic on a Sinclair ZX81. Then Z80 machine code on the Sinclair Spectrum. regards Asimov

                        In high school we shared a teletype console which used a 300 baud modem to program some flavor of Basic on an HP2000 in the late 70's. We ending up with piles of rolled heat sensing paper after completing our assignments.
