qbasic because it was what they teached at my junior high school programming class

12 years

Cause it was part of the curriculum

C-64 basic

9 years

Because my chair ran over my starflight disk and the disk copy program didn't retry a read on encountering an error - hence a modification was needed. Stared at the code for a while (I had a 1541 drive manual with code and simple code projects), made a few modifications, stuck the disk in the drive, and managed to recover the game.

All you people stink. I wish i could have started it sooner! but its not too bad. And i will probably start vb8 so i can make some programs then start some regular game coding, and modeling, because i want to make games and be game designer, and probably learn python because it is in one of the new programs i got to make movies. But i gotta get going soon, and they didnt teach us any coding in my pc class

Although next school year if i realy wanted i couldve done vb6 ut i was alreadyt gonna learn 8 this summer.

I honestly don't remember, but I ****ed around in GW-BASIC when I was about 9. I pushed the limits of QBasic when I was 12. I learned VB5 at 14 -- VB6 is essentially identical. Went on to ASP at 15. Then I learned Java and touched on C++ in my first year of college.
