I've never seen any BASIC code, so excuse my ignorance, but isn't that just assembly with some better keywords?matthijs wrote:Must have been basic. Isn't that the language were you had to type the numbers before each rule? It was on a commodore 64 if I remember correctly.
10 if ..
20 GOTO 30 ..
30 etc
Anywho, my first language was PHP, but I never wrote anything in it until after I had to do Visual Basic at college and that inspired me to continue with PHP.

LOGO is full of win.
Then Basic on the C64, Pascal, C, HTML/JS, then PHP. I'd say I want to stop here, but somehow, new languages seem to find their way onto my list.

Programming wise, Perl, but only a very little. Moved in to PHP when my flat-file 'database' application didn't do what I wanted it to and I didn't know enough Perl to make it do what I wanted it to.
Began learning PHP in 2003 (September-ish) and along the way I learned VBScript, Javascript, some C# and some ColdFusion. But to really answer your question, I would have to say that PHP was the first real programming language that I learned and it was the language primariuly responsible for my learning of OOP concepts.
Before that I was all about the markup, teaching myself HTML starting in 1997 (or perhaps it was 1998).
