question for those who program/code, how did you get into it?
what got you through the phase of wanting to give up (how I feel now) and push yourself to continue learning?
what was the first language you learned and why that language?
I'm asking because I am finding myself jumping from different languages to learn and bouncing from o email tutorial to another.
any advice given is greatly appreciated.
@wwalt My father had one of those computers made in the 80s which started directly on a Basic interpreter. So that's how I got into programming. I don't know when I wrote my first programs, the computer was already at home when I was born. My father had a book with listings for simple games for that computer, so I started programming by typing some of those listing, without really understanding what they really did.
I then continued to do some things from time to time with QBasic on DOS and then with Visual Basic on Windows.
I started to switch to other languages quite later, when I started to get an Internet access, and because of studies.
