Pic related. No internet for reference, save and load to tape, fuck all debug functionality, final destination.
>>
Besides turtle stuff it was Visual Basic
>>
>>54992168
Oh wait no, it was action script when I was younger. I almost forgot about that
>>
Freshman highschool I took java class, next year we did vb and data structs in java. Learned C++ in senior year and python on my own. Back to java first year in uni.
>>
>>54992089
JASS2

>>54992089
>That image
>Webdev: C and C++
>Gamedev: Java, Ruby

Anyway, C was my first language.
>>
>>54992247
there is PyBoard that accepts MicroPython, tho.
>>
>>54992089

QBasic
>>
>>54992089
scheme
>>
>>54992089
that pics retarded. It's good developers with knowledge of specific languages and frameworks which brings dosh, not knowledge of a language. In order to become a good developer, one can start with any language as long as they're dedicated enough
>>
>>54992189
man, I had a TI 99/4A a few years ago. Loved dicking around in TI BASIC. I had the full giant fucking manual that came with it.
Shame I lost it in a fire the next year.
It was my poor man's C64.
>>
>>54992491
it's for codemonkeys

Anyway my first was C I guess
Though my very first experience was with GML
>>
>>54992089
Small basic
>>
>>54992511
Jelly. I stumbled upon the programming manual once I had migrated up to an XT, but at least I finally got to experience the dance of Mr Bojangles.
>>
>Logo age 8
>PHP4 age 12

I'm probably the only person to have taken a step down from their first language.
>>
>>54992089
Z80 ASM... those were the days. Halcyon.
>>
>>54992089
How true is this Python thing? I always though it saw almost no professional use.

TI-Basic. Based sophomore geometry teacher made us learn to write simple programs in our TI-84s, he would give us an equation and we had 10 minutes to code it and show it to him.

Literally 70% of the class failed each quiz, which was worth a significant chunk of our grade. That and my high school C++ class really made me realize how much I liked programming and how I was decently good at it
>>
I think my first programming language is Python but I was damn lazy in those time that I don't go much far than Hello World.

But today I focus on learning Java before I go back learning Python.
>>
>>54992618
Define professional.

Instagram,dropbox ,bit torrent, YouTube were all written in python.

Academics use it all the time.

It's used heavily in engineering for easy number crunching.

I'm an engineer and I build little tools with it. Random shit, like stress calculations that I can't be bothered to do manually over and over.

>>54992089
Visual Basic > Matlab > Java > C#
>>
>>54992089
Basic on Atari.
Then c++
Then matlab
Then python.
>>
>>54992089
C++ set back my interest for several years. If only Scheme had been my first excursion.

Infographic needs more contrast.

qbasic a little then true basic. get on my level.
>>
>>54992802
they use a python based WSGI server for hosting instigram thats not the same thing as "instrigram is written in python"
>>
>>54992089
BASIC
>>
>>54992089
simons' basic
>>
Python.

I took a class of edX or coursera, I forgot which one and I quit after the third week because it was just typingthings into the command line like a calculator so I didn't understand how this was programming.
>>
C, then C++, then I was introduce to OOP and I fucking dropped programming altogether
>>
>>54992089
I wrote machine code until I realized that assemblers existed.

>>54992089
She was Visual Basic 6 and she was a filthy whore, so much so i now work in a factory with only my dreams of what could have been.

Just do 1+1.
People without any knowlegde google it, but this dosent mean it has such a big growth in the industry

>>54992089
Blitz3D. It was amazing

>>54993202
I actually don't know what that means. But thanks.

Does this have anything to do with the JASS from the world editor of warcraft? Cause I think that was me first prog lang. Good times
>>
>>54992089
>pic recommends ruby and matlab
>>>/trash/
>>
>>54995680
Yeah, I started out with the visual scripting stuff there and wrote a tiny bit of actual code. When I started taking actual programming classes that shit put me like at least a year ahead of the curriculum.
>>
>>54992181
It's turing complete tho
>>
lua
>>
C and matlab

I won't learn java; you'll abandon it just you did with python and jump to another language. Go back
>>
Visual Basic

Started with shell scripting in Windows, writing bat files. Then in high shoool learned Java. In uni we were taught Python, Java, and C.
>>
qbasic. i was like 11 but never managed to use exploit my headstart because i'm dumb and lazy, plus my parents pretty much let me do whatever i wanted
