QBASIC...yuck. I started writing simple AI programs with it...then I wanted to try FORTRAN but I couldn't figure out what compiler to use...so I found a good C one and stuck with C.

Logo was mine Turtle up and turtle down?
then qbasic, pascal, c then c++.

Good Fortran (and it is Uppercase and lowercase nowdays) compilers are hard to find on pc's. I don't like Fortran too much, my teacher forced us to use Fortran 77, uppercase, only 6 letter identifiers, integers only start with the letters between I and N, and you had to make sure there was 6 spaces. Fortran is the oldest computer language alive, next comes Lisp. It's strong point is the level of optimization and using multiple cpu's.
I had to learn C for college, but I've taught myself BASIC, Pascal, and C++. I'm currently tackling Java/J++.

My first language was C, I taught myself, with a book or three of course.

Well I ended up teaching myself most of what I know about C from books too. My lecturer wasn't even interested in showing you how to learn programming.

yeah... english is just too hard... some really advanced programmer must have designed it eh?

Mine were a couple of things all mushed up into one period of my life. They aren't hard "languages" but I tackled them all at one time in the beginning:
(in no specific order)
-Visual Basic
-VBScript
-HTML
Like I said, it wasn't hard at all. It's when I started C that the challenge knocked on my door. That's what I like. POWER TO C.

English? What's English? Some sort of beta-version of a language that "never made it"? I don't understand.

you've never heard of English?? It's sort of hard to learn, but it's incredibly powerful (espescially with MSVE++) - here's some sample code
try doing THAT with VB!Code:creat an integer named num1 create a standard dialog box add in a static text control at point (0,0) to the bottom-right corner and name it static1 make num1 = 5 add num1 to static1
Gosh, that code is...is...like...a...I don't know...another language! I can't understand a word of it! When I read it, I felt this immense feeling of stupidity running through my mind because I could not process this...this...ARG! Must...hit...submit.

> try doing THAT with VB!
Hey! What's that supposed to mean? If you are slamming VB, then go right ahead. I said that I DID learn it, but when I took up C, that is when VB stopped. Rightfully so!

I was just slamming VB, not you!
*sigh* I wish I could stop VB...stupid first period class!!
hey garfield, do you have AIM?
We've all got to pay our dues -KEN-, don't we?

Not with VB...VB is poisoning my mind for C...
I would say if it's easy, don't complain. Yeah VB is a "*****" of a language, but you could be back doing Qbasic!
