While I'd hate to develop anything in VB these days, it did kick off my interest in software development. Especially when my friend was into it as well so we'd make stuff and share it with each other.
Java developer by trade these days, and I use Ruby or Objective-C for personal development.
- petercooper 16y agoNot to pile on the guilt, but I swept yards when I was 11 to raise the money to buy Visual Basic for DOS 1.0 when it came out ;-) Unfortunately, the joke was entirely on me in the end!
- sjs 16y agoI also got VB4-6 pirated somewhere around 1998. My dad got me to read a book on VB4 and down the rabbit hole I went (I had dabbled before, but just scripting apps like mIRC and a few DOS batch files).
