judda Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 At work this week, I saw a phone book which then made me start a conversation about old technologies that we used. The first actual programming language that I used was Visual Basic 6, made a few programs on there with my friends in high school, afterwards we did Java. How about you?

DaRule Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 VB6 was my first as well, still useful to this day sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judda Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 @DaRule You use it still frequently? The closest that I get is VBScript in our lovely legacy applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not super frequently, but we have a lot of Excel templates we maintain, so it has its use cases. I try to stay away from it as much as possible though when there is a better solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judda Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Ah yea, VBA is always going to be there for lovely macros and stuff. I completely agree with that one - it's a good language but not so much for full on development anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 A little late to reply, but I learned C# my first semester of college. That feels like so long ago... Also, of all the things I remember the most from it, a bubble sort is the one I can recall. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judda Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 @Royal oh the bubble sort - it's great isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravefoot Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Oh my god, my first programming language was also Visual Basic :0 We had to create a program that allowed clients to order pizzas in an hypothetical pizza shop. No idea what number version it was, but I did this in College back in 2017/18. It was great fun, if short. Unfortunately IT in our College was mostly boring general computer knowledge and theory...
