Re: First programming language

I used BASIC when I was little, I tried to learn it, I learned it a little bit. Also when I was around 15/16 years old.
I then learned Visual Basic 6. It's a programming language/environment that contains the most enthusiastic things in programming and GUIs, so it can give a very big impulse if we really try to learn it. I bought a book about VB6 when I was around 13/14 years old in a book fair for $10. I didn't have a computer only for me, only some times in my sister's computer, as well as the computer from a friend, but I always studied that book even without computer. It helped me.
Now I know that reading programming books without computer can really help. I was even able to invent a way to mentally calculate the calendar, surely helped by that.
Now I know Assembly and from those bases, I can learn any language if I give it time to it and if it interests me. I will try to write a Visual Basic 6 compiler some time, but first a C/C++ compiler.
