What was your first programming language? - Poll by Joe Dwyer
My first programming language was BASIC. I took a class at Fullerton College. All I knew at that point was that I wanted to make games and software. So I was learning everything I could. I started with BASIC, but I wish Small Basic was around back then. I would have taught myself (saved some money) and had a blast in the process!
So what was your first programming language?

You might want to check out Joe's Principles of Programming, which is available on Amazon.com. It uses Small Basic to teach basic concepts of programming for kids and beginners.
