It's Saturday morning and I started the day reading another chapter of Introduction to Algorithms
And while I tested some Python code I tried to remember when I started to program and in which language. It was 24 years ago, in 1984, I was twelve and my first computer, a PC XT (Intel 8088, 4.77 MHz) had less than six months at home.
The language was Basic, first as BASICA and later as GW-Basic running on DOS 3.2.
And you? When did you learn to program and in which language?

First Programming Language
My first and only programming language was when I was in elementary school learning BASIC on an old Commodore.
The old days...
Circa 1987. I was about seven yrs old so it's all a little fuzzy. But the language was BASIC on a ZX Spectrum 48k.
My first ever program:
10 PRINT "HELLO"
20 GOTO 10
I hadn't even heard of "Hello World" at this point. In any case, the world wasn't listening. I was just getting my computer to say "HELLO" to me :) This, at the time, was the most impressive thing I'd ever seen.
