I started programming 3 2 years ago when I started the certificate in IT, I am now on my 3rd and final year of the bachelors degree in IT.
The first language I ever used was Visual Basic which we learnt in the certificate, i then moved onto c# in the first year of the degree, then java, javascript and php. I would not at all consider myself a professional programmer as I am still learning and still struggle abit with the logic side of programming.
Visual basic to me seems to basic to even bother continuing on with hence I prefer c# for software development.
What was your first language?
