Introduction
Let's discuss the first language we learned that pay a way to reach the place where we are today. The curiosity that we have regarding the developer community when we first time code.
My Experience
Batch Scripting Language is the first programming language that I learned but I will not recommend anybody to learn today. I self-learned that programming language. I learned batch because it was used in the command line and I was not knowing anything about other programming languages at that time.
Discuss
- What is the first programming language that you learned?
- What was your experience regarding it?

C , then C ++because it was basic for Computer Science students in Indian school. ThenC # and Javain college , Now in work itsC#. AndC#is easy , readable and maintainable compared to others. 😄Yesss, same her for me in my college started with c then c++. Now I am learning python.
Pascal was my first back in Highschool.
I still remember the time back then when I struggled with it, the time when I used those classes to play Counter-Strike with my fellows, and now, here I am, working and stuffing my brain with more languages... what fate 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣You were at better side we used to surf internet or play some arcade game or draw in MS paint.
Actually, there was no internet on every computer, so we brought the game and installed it by ourselves, and played via LAN. 😋
That's awesome 🔥🔥🔥
My dad introduced me to Basic as a teenager. It was awful. You had to type a number at the start of each line, not even 1, 2, 3.., it went 100, 200, 300..., which made no sense to me. And then there were all the GOTOs. I decided then that programming was incredibly tedious.
A few years later, as I was looking for a new direction, my husband pushed me to give programming another go with Pascal. I taught myself from a book and it wasn't long before I was hooked. No typing line numbers, no stupid gotos. Instead you had lovely functions, and powerful things like structures, arrays and pointers... It made total sense and it was actually fun!
Today, programming language are becoming easy to understand and implement without having a lot of trouble in writing useless code. With powerful extension that we have coding has become easy as we compared to past years. As you said today it make sense and it has fun also.⭐
Some flavor of BASIC for a 2 week intro to programming course; then TI-BASIC 83 on my calculator in the back of class; then C(++) followed by Java in college; but I feel like I really started programming in PHP...
That's good 😊
Java in high school, Java in university, Java in my first job :)
I'm happy I learned a object oriented langue early on. Obviously no language is perfect. I would consider myself a fullstack developer now. I'm equally good at both Java and Javascript. I enjoy those stacks and have no problems getting opportunities with those skill sets.
I fooled around with Python here and there. I also got on the Ruby on Rails hype train back in the day...but since got off :)
That's a nice set of skills
I had started with Java (It is being taught in high-school)
That's a great language to start coding.
yeah, but later I shifted to python and C# since I was mostly interested in game development and AI/ML
Yeah, python has big scope in AI/ML.
Easily python. Being mostly in the English language really did help me get into programming.
Easy and most demanding 🔥🔥🔥
Started with C++ in school. C++ in itself is an amazing language first of all. I found it a little difficult using it with certain things but it no more troubles me now. The Heaven part is DSA:)
It can be difficult for beginners to deal with those classes and all. It's great that you are now comfortable with the language.
Visual Basicnearly in 2009Nice 🔥🔥🔥
First language was NwScript, and game scripting language for Neverwinter Nights. It was pretty basic (no arrays, structs can't be nested, etc), but it did help me get into programming.
That's the good start to rock in the field.
