I don't really think this would count as programming but it's the best board for it.. I have to confess! I FIRST LEARNED HTML AT NEOPETS!!!
...*sigh* It's good to get stuff like that off your chest.

So is this a "My First Language" thread now?
My first was ZZT-OOP, followed by Megazeux(Robotic). Ironically, those two languages are the only languages that I've learned and completely forgotten.

it's a "my first language" thread now. Mine was truck. I got an application that was supposed to teach you programming concepts like 7 years ago, and they started with a simple truck that ran on a numer line. you moved it from place to place and picked up or dropped off items. It was stupid, and I am ashamed to call that my first language.

my first language was JavaScript, and then I learned C.
I was actually going to learn QBASIC at high school, but back then I started the year late, so I dropped it

My first language was basic on an old CBM console.

Haha, my first HTML learned was also at Neopets. Then I learned a little bit of Flash Actionscripting. Anything else is too complicated for me..

Started with BASIC on various oldtimey computers, found QBASIC when I got my first IBM clone (back when PCs were still called IBM clones) then decided I wanted to learn a real language so I bought C++ for Dummies. The combination of an insane language with a poorly written book made me fail. I got to uni and spent 3 years learning Java, which hurt. Discovered Lisp halfway through my third year and for the first time in my life I knew happiness.

Well my real first language that I'm still learning is C++ then I'm probably going on to Lisp or something.
Similar to #10, but I originally started because I wanted to play Nibbles on the Apple IIe's we had in 5th grade. Since that of course wasn't an option really, I made my own weaker version in Apple's basic.

Wouldn't it be easier to learn Lisp first and then C++.

A flavor of BASIC on a computer called ABC802, then i ventured on to C++ never got the difference between '=' and '==' so i failed and returned to QuickBasic, then i began reading about C and understood what the hell i had been doing wrong in C++
HTML, followed by Javascript. All in Computer Science class

i started with BASIC and assembly language on the Commodore 64, followed by QBasic after i got my hands on a PC. once i found the internet, i learned MPI and MUF. then i learned Turbo Pascal in high school. self-taught TCL and C/C++ later, as well as any number of application-specific scripting languages.
HTML and CSS are in there somewhere, but i'm hard pressed to consider them programming languages.
