What was the first programming language you learned? #ComputerScienceEducationWeek

@sparkfun Fortran, using punch cards. Turned in my card deck, then got my print-out back a day or two later. Fixed errors, and repeat. Sometimes it took a week or so to get a program to work. Eventually graduated to be allowed to use a terminal.

@sparkfun @digikey BASIC ( Beginner´s All-purpose Simbolic Instruction Code )

@sparkfun First began with Mindstorms at the age of 7. I quickly got bored and changed the boot loader so I could program the MCU with a language called NQC (Not Quite C) 🤓. However, Python was the first language I’d say I was proficient with.

@sparkfun Commodore Basic

@sparkfun C++ in 2003

@sparkfun PASCAL was the first I learned. Then later assembly (MASM/TASM) along with a more modern version of PASCAL C/C++/C#

@sparkfun Commodore BASIC in a VIC-20! Those were the days!

@sparkfun Assembly, After that COBOL, Fortran, Basic, Pascal, C, PS.

@sparkfun Probably was QBASIC

@sparkfun Basic

@sparkfun BASIC 8086 Assembly

@sparkfun BASIC

@sparkfun Hand assembled machine code to feed my custom 74181 ALU based 4-bit computer in 1972 that I wore wrapped together. The same year APL on workstations hosted by an Amdahl at the University of Alberta. I was 11 years old.

@sparkfun Basic, on a Radio Shack TRS-80. I mostly programmed single-player video games.

@sparkfun BASIC on the Atari 400🕹

@sparkfun BASIC on the Commodore 64. No... wait, scratch that. It was a Commodore Pet. But I did a lot on the 64.

@sparkfun Basic - Texas Instruments TI-99/4a

@sparkfun @digikey BASIC, Turbo Pascal, C and then assembly for the Microchip 16F84 IC.

@sparkfun BASIC on the #C64 and then assembler on a @MicrochipTech PIC16F84 - ahh, those were the days! #electronicsinfluencer

@sparkfun Interestingly arduino.

@sparkfun BASIC - NOT VB, but 1978, you write the line numbers 1st and save that code to a cassette tape hooked up to your Radio Shack TRS-80 with 4K of RAM, no hard drive, no floppies, no flash drive, BASIC... LOL

@sparkfun FORTRAN

@sparkfun Java... Just Java without the script at the end 🐱

@sparkfun Fortran77

@sparkfun Lego Mindstorms RCX block programming 😄

@sparkfun Texas Instruments Extended Basic!

@sparkfun BASIC, between 1984-1986, on IBM PC, Vic 20, Comm 64, TI 99, and Sinclair.

@sparkfun BASIC at 15y/o and C++ at 17y/o . Now have practice with Different Flavours of C, ASM. Working on Python :) Just a lil bit of working with HTML and CSS

@sparkfun MSX-BASIC, circa 1994?

@sparkfun BASIC -> Assembler -> Delphi(Pascal) -> C -> C# -> C++ -> Python -> JS. The first three is gone! Last 5 is being used actively.

@sparkfun Damn i m old , logo :)

@sparkfun Turbo Pascal on an 8086 with two 5.25" disk drives and a green monochrome monitor in 11th grade.

@sparkfun Basic - we have come a long way!
