Hehe, I can`t believe people are recommending C/C++ and JAVA as a first programming language. MADNESS! :lol:
I started on QBASIC (stop laughing!) then was forced onto PASCAL and COBOL I was then forced back onto PASCAL again. Visual BASIC was next (useful if you want to make small, simple apps). After that things got serious. C then C++ followed by the devil`s programming language, JAVA. *CRINGE* Most of that was at college, and most of it was horrible. I`ve used only Blitz BASIC and OPL on my PSION apart from all that, and you know what? The only language I still use is OPL. :-)
