What did I start on? I'm not sure I remember. It was either my 3rd grade math teacher's Atari 800, or my uncle's ZX-81 (later known as the Timex Sinclair 2000). I became a "hard core" programmer with my very own C-64 (which my dad technophobically was opposed to buying for me). Either way, I learned my chops in BASIC with line numbers. Later on, I was mildly freaked by the concept of programming without line numbers. I still can't quite grasp object-oriented stuff fully.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
