I learned what programming was on a TRS-80 my grandfather gave me when I was a kid. When I started college classes, I learned OOP with Java, my first real programming language. Later I learned C, C++, assembly, PHP, and various other things... but I have always considered Java to be my "first love" <_< ...

But don't use Java to program jet planes or other life-critical applications! Hehehe - I love that warning :blink:

 

PS Anyone here use Ruby? And want to maybe describe how much (and why) they love it? It is tantalizing, but I think I need a nudge to actually go play with it.

I started programming on Commodore 64, and therefore, my first programing language was BASIC. Later I moved to PC, learned QN, QBasic ( and all the other Q's and Basic's :) ), moved to Windows, and I'm still using VB6 for most programming, though I'm getting familiar with all that .NET concept... Also, I can program in all of Basic scripts, Pascal, PHP, Javascript.... well, that's about it. And what I'm really proud of - I learnd it the hard way :D:D

Hi,At the beginning, I learned algorithm concepts with Pascal at school and after the basics of Object Oriented Programming with Java. Java was an open door to find my first job :D . I recommend you to know this programming language because it is often required (and with experience .NET too) ! :) Today my new job offers me the ability to program with ASP, JSP, PHP, HTML, JavaScript, JAVA, .NET and completes this knowledge with databases like MySQL, IBM DB2 or Ms SQLServer.

At first, I learned C/C++.But it was too difficult for me to acquire. :D I hear that JAVA is easy for beginners. so I started to learn JAVA.I want to master C++,too.I'll try it later. :) I am a high school student.I want to utilize them in the future.

wow i never really see anyone say turing, yet it is what i learnt on in computer class last year and this one. i got tought the basics but nothing real interesting so i pretty much taught a good chunk of it to myself through the help file. when attempting to make... really low class games i have found that turing has a great deal of limitations (forked sound makes it stall for atleast one second). i am currently trying to learn Dev-C++ and a little vb6 but i was told that vb teaches poor programming skills, so i dont not spend alot of time on it.edit: i also am learning java next year in grade 12xboxrulz... have you made anything interesting in turing?

I started programming with Game Maker, in a language called GML (Game Maker Language), many years ago. The GML language looks like a mix between C and Pascal.

Later I started programming with C++, using Borland C++ Builder. I tried making DLL extensions for games made with Game Maker, but it didn't work, so I started using Pascal with Delphi instead. I also started programming with NQC (Not Quite C) for my Lego Mindstorms RCX.

Less than a year ago I started learning PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor), and only a few months ago I started using Javascript and TI-Basic.

 

I know seven programming languages! Yay! :(

I know QBasic, some VB6 and very little JavaScript.
Also a very basic scripting language for an online game I play called Furcadia. You can make your own maps on it and add scripting to them to do things.
A rather long example, for a combination lock, using passwords and strings:
(0:0) (5:300) %lockone 2 (5:300) %codeone 0
(0:7) 78,34 (1:16) (5:200) {Welcome to the Combination Lock Setter! This enables you to put a password on your lock. Type !**** while in front of your closed lock to jump over it where **** is your combination lock code. If you don't type the right code in, you won't jump over the lock! The Combination Locks can be used to leave your house while it's locked. [Note: The codes must be a number from 0 to 30000.]}
(0:7) 78,34 (1:16) (1:200) %lockone 0 (5:200) {The Combination Lock for house 1 is off. Type !set **** to set the code to **** and turn on the lock feature.}
(0:7) 78,34 (1:16) (1:200) %lockone 1 (5:200) {The Combination Lock for house 1 is on. The current code is %codeone - Type !set **** to set the code to **** or !set 0 to turn the lock off.}
(0:32) {!set } (1:19) 80,35 (5:300) %lockone 1 (5:314) %codeone
(0:32) {!set } (1:19) 80,35 (1:200) %lockone 0 (5:200) {Combination Lock turned off.} (5:300) %lockone 0
(0:32) {!set } (1:19) 80,35 (1:200) %lockone 1 (5:200) {House 1 combination lock code set to: %codeone }
(0:32) {!set } (1:19) 80,35 (1:200) %lockone 2 (5:200) {House 1 is not sold.}
(0:32) {!} (1:19) 88,36 (5:314) %codeonetest
(0:32) {!} (1:19) 88,36 (1:203) %codeone %codeonetest (1:200) %lockone 1 (5:15) 86,38
(0:32) {!} (1:19) 86,36 (5:314) %codeonetest
(0:32) {!} (1:19) 86,36 (1:203) %codeone %codeonetest (1:200) %lockone 1 (5:15) 86,38
(0:32) {!} (1:19) 88,38 (5:314) %codeonetest
(0:32) {!} (1:19) 88,38 (1:203) %codeone %codeonetest (1:200) %lockone 1 (5:15) 86,38
(0:32) {!} (1:19) 86,38 (5:314) %codeonetest
(0:32) {!} (1:19) 86,38 (1:203) %codeone %codeonetest (1:200) %lockone 1 (5:15) 88,36
(0:31) {sale 1} (1:11) (5:300) %lockone 2 (5:300) %codeone 0
(0:31) {sold 1} (1:11) (5:300) %lockone 0 (5:300) %codeone 0
There's a good DragonSpeak tutorial on some angelfire site, I think its http://www.angelfire.com/my/furcadia/

For the past three years most of my programming has been done in Java. But i also use Perl almost every day - mainly for smaller stuff: scripts and quick-and-dirty hacks.The very first language I learned was COMAL. Later I got a C64 and played with BASIC and Assembler. My first "real" language was C. I can't remember I what order I learned the rest of the languages I know, but Java is the latest addition to the list.If I had to select only one language (to take with me on an deserted island) it would be Perl.How about an programming language alphabet? Here's mine (letters in paranthesis indicates that I don't know (or recall) any language starting with that letter):Awk, Brainf*ck, C/C++, (D), E (great language on the good old Amiga), FORTRAN, (G), HTML, (I), Java, (K), Lisp, M4, (N), Oberon, Perl, QBasic, REXX, SQL, Tcl/Tk, UML, Visual Basic/VBScript, (W), XML, (Y), (Z)I could add more to the list, like PHP and Pascal, but that wouldt fill out any emty slots...Does anybody have a full alphabet?
