I am a bit old, so the first was assembler, than fortran, pascal...Of course, not to forget COBOL!

Ljubomir mention the year please... of course to know how old are you ... h h h ... regards.

C (1996)

I don't know when exactly I started learning BASIC, but by 1999 I switched to Pascal.

A few years into Pascal I discovered Borland Delphi (~2001).

~2002 PHP (that is when I started coding HTML pages in Notepad for the first time) :)

~2003 C++ (Borland C++ Builder IDE was the first IDE u used for C++ programming)

In the year 2005 I also started learning C for microcontrollers and Assembly for old Intel CPU-s.

~2006 C# programming language (really liked it and switched from C++ to C#)

~2008 Java programming languages (god a book on a Book fair in Belgrade)

~2012 Python, but abandoned it, because I worked as a PHP developer and didn't need another distraction.

In the period between 2003 and 2007 I did try out a lot of other languages, but it was only a try-out. Not really to code in them.

FORTRAN - Pascal - Mathematica - PYTHON

Pascal

Basic (Commodore 64, 1991), but that is not relevant answer for your question. You shold ask poeple what is the best choice for you, if you are planning to start with programming.

In my case I start with Basic, then use Visual Basic, then start to work with web applications on php&mysql platform...

Php

Pascal

Sinclair BASIC (1980), followed by Z80 machine code, Z80 Assembly language (yes, in that order!), then Forth.

C

I forgot to mention Perl. I started learning it around the time I was discovering goodies, beauties and advantages of Linux, around 2004/5.

I started with IBM assembly language, then began learning Fortran.

@Peshawa, is our response valid for your quick survey? Less then 40 answers! I did expect a lot more answers.

Good luck!

Ljubomir Jacic

@Ljubomir, no its not enough I need more answer, let us wait and see what will happen. till now answers are coming but slowly.

Pascal

Pascal, It is really a structured programming language

1. Fortran

2. Basic

3. Pascal

4. C

5. C++

6. Java

IBM assembly language

Basic

C/C++

MATLAB

Pascal

I'm 0 & 1

True or False

Based on that i express my thoughts using those languages .. :)

I started with C Programming in 2000

BASIC

(in 1981 on a ZX81)

Reading the answers, some nice memories come through! I do remember my HP 65 scientific (795 US$)!!! It was in 1975! In 1982, my school bought the very first PC Commodore PC10! Basic and Fortran were used in programming course!

@James Garry , it was Sinclaire / SPECTRUM, or I am wrong!?

Ljubomir Jacic

BASIC

(in 1983 on a Commodore 64)

FORTRAN in1981, BASIC, COBOL, RPG in 1982/83

Fortran, Pascal, and Cobol in 1984,1985 and from 1986 C language on Ultrix OS from Vax Dec machine and in 87 lisp on VMS OS from Vax machine , later prolog on Pc computer

C++ and now i teach it...

Basic. on zx spectrum. i was 8 and wanted to play hangman with my 6y old brother. took us 2h to copy example from the book for about 10 mins of play time :D

C after C++

Malgol (Algol-60 for Minsk-22)

Malgol was in 1969, later did follow machine code of Razdan-3, assembler for Minsk-32 and IBM, then macroassembler for OS/370, Forth and C. And asm for Intel.

An overvieuw of my life in programming is to see on the site

I did participate in this Color Protection Method ... Dear @Peshawa, good luck!

Assembly

Wow ! Sergio, I am curious as to which Assembly language you learned first ?

Typically, this is the best way to start learning programming. The most restrictive languages will force you to learn the most ... I learned Z80 (8 bit) microprocessor language right after BASIC (which was the norm for poor-man's personal computers that couldn't afford an IBM PC in the 80's). When BASIC was the standard for cheap-Z80-powered personal computers (1982-83), IBM introduced the 8086-powered personal computers. So, anybody that was programming in the mid- to late-80's was an x86 (or DOS) person. Of course, there was the APPLE crowd, which were Motorola people, with the 68000 processors. Z80 was gone by early 90's ! Zilog (the maker of Z80) was history, and x86 was in its third generation !

Just as a note for the young folks that are listening to this, if Zilog hadn't screwed up their marketing, we could have a Z80'compatible slew of computers today, may be, instead of x86 !!! They actually did make an attempt to introduce Z8000 (the 16 bit version), but, it wasn't backwards compatible ! The market didn't forgive that and Z8000 ended up being a specialty processor with barely any market share.

Just to show you the infinite impact Z80 had, it is STILL used in microcontrollers in the industry ! If you were an 80's kid (like me), you grew up seeing INTEL's rise from a specialty-IC producer to planet-wide chip monster :) Of course, the programming languages emerged with the progress of the processor architectures ...

God, I feel old :)

Dears, thank you for your responses. Any one knows about a good indexed conference in image processing or computer science....Also, I want to be a reviewer if a journal needs this service, I will be glad to do it....

Fortran iv

mine was html and css, then c++, then java. I suggest html because it's fairly easy to start with, and it's immediately rewarding.

hexa code for a sort of "gameboy" pluged to the TV. In 1978, a few years before the ZX81 :)

C (2005).

Ok, and HTML (I think in 2002) but HTML is not a programming language.

QBASIC (in 1999) got me into programming. But after a few month I left BASIC for C++. I really learned programming in C++. Many other languages have followed, but C++ is still my favorite.

Some modified C back in 1997 when I was trying to mod a video game.

@Peshawa, response to your answer is growing rapidly! Nice! gradient - almost 17 views per day, while answered almost 3 times per day!

Good luck!

Then to Pascal and Assembler 1989.

Switched to C in the mid 1990's and now use C and C++.
