hey, just wondering, how did you get started in Dev...

well, at the start of this year (2003)...i asked my dad if he could teach me (My dads an Application Engineer)...he gave me one of his Turbo Pascal 7.0 text books (**** good one at that)...and the compiler..

I ended up teaching myself...and now im working with VB6....and im doing it in my own time..

I started programming with my Spectrum 16 K (I was able to do CIRCLE all over the screen changing the center with a FOR... NEXT).

The rest will be history in the next century.

A BBC Micro around 1986. I learned (a tiny little bit of) english because I had to read the reference manual which wasn't translated.

Without counting the Casio FX602 (a programmable calculator), it was on a Commodore CBM 4016 back in 1982. BASIC and 6502 assembler...

I started on my ol' TI-99/4A, then graduated to a Commodore 64, when it was released.

Boy... Old memories.

1981 on an Radio Shack TRS-80.

Actually, this was the second computer. My first was a multiuser
system built by some lab techs at the University of Texas EE
dept. Unknown OS. This was for 6809 assembly and interface
class.

I've played the ol' DOS games and stuff ever since they've been around but started programming in 96-97 with Turbo Pascal, went on to C, then VB, and now C++.

There are, however, very vague recollections of me actually programming a commodore 64, writing code and storing it on a tape etc but no idea what happened to those. That was when I was a kid.

Ahh, the memories...

I wrote a check input and balancing program, complete with disk I/O and printing capabilities, for my mother on my Commodore 64. All in C64 BASIC....
