in reply to What was your first program?

I'm actually a younger monk, so I don't remember toying with PDP-8s or even 11s (since I never did). My school was especially lucky to have Apple Is and IIs. We used LogoWriter (yeah, the four retarded turtles). Later, we used the LegoLego to make tanks (what's with the tanks today?). I thought this was especially neat since the parts came with light sensors and stick sensors (stop the motor when this part gets hit). Later, I moved move up to HyperCard 1.8 (WOW!) which let me make simple animations and short, useless applications. From HyperCard, I switched schools and QBASIC was forced upon me. I picked that up quickly but I realized quickly that it lacked finesse. I made sure to quickly learn C and C++ and ended up in Perl after the CGI revolution. Neat eh?
