Hello,
My first experience with programming was a class in high school that taught Pascal (TurboPascal 7.0 - to be exact). After that I tinkered here and there, a class in Visual Basic (.NET) and one in engineering programming - I forget what language exactly, but it might have been Basic, too - but nothing substantive until in college I decided to major in computer science. I learned C++ in college, and shell scripting, too. On tap in my college studies is Java, Assembly, C (that one I am more-or-less on my own with K&R - but it shouldn't be too much different than C++). I also have to learn now Perl for my job. And I want to learn PHP and HTML (well, at least brush up on my HTML as its been a couple years) to create my webpages. The languages I most enjoy so far are C/C++ and shell scripting.

I had my first taste of basic when I took a class at high school because I like a girl that took computers. Then Uni C++, java, web development (php, javascript, html, postgres).

I'm an electronic engineer. I started out in radio/TV but eventually went to computers for computer graphics (Pixar and Silicon Graphics). Design/build, then program using switches in hex. I've actually used individual wires before, too . So assembly was my first language. One job finally forced us to code in 'C' and we hated it. Too high level. (D**n MIT grad boss @ss***).

Hi
My first steps of programming were when I was child (about 12), after being tired of playing a lot of games, I decided to use my Commodore 64's BASIC. Some months later I bought the "Simon's BASIC" cartridge for Commodore 64 that was expanding the capabilities of the embedded BASIC to do some more intersting staff A few years later, i bought my first PC with 286 processor and the 287 co-processor. On that period I bought a Quick Basic book and I started learning it... After some more years, I went to the college and because I was following the job of the Electronic System Engineer, I was forced to learn very well (like drhowarddrfine ) assembly 80X86 and low-level C on SCO Unix platform. After many years of experience working as a Unix sysadmin, I have mastered AWK and I use it for the most of my administrative tasks and I use C and Perl only a few times where I cannot do the job with the help of AWK.
