- noonespecial 19y agoThat turbo pascal IDE is how I started programming as well. I had dabbled in basic on c-64 before that but the limitations were too confining. Back then, it felt like pascal could do anything! I actually had a serious nostalgic moment watching him page up and down and wait for the refreshes. I miss the feeling of endless possibility that blue cga screen imparted...

I had written quite a bit of BASIC and a tiny bit of assembly on my C-64 and then a C-128, but when I got Turbo Pascal on my dads PC I was utterly thwarted in my attempts at building something. A few years later I was able to breeze through the AP computer programming course in high school, which used Pascal on Apple IIe systems, but I was never able to do anything useful with Pascal. I started making progress again on my Amiga with ARexx, C (using Matt Dillon's DICE environment, which was very UNIX-y), and Amiga E. I think OOP concepts just threw me.
