I starting learning how to write code in '91 (I was 10). My first language was LOGO, but after that I started learning BASIC. I remember trying to find any sort of books I could from the library, that talked about BASIC. It was tough going. I didn't have access to the internet (much less knew what it was). So I had to make do with these books that were often for different dialects of BASIC. In those days I was enamored with graphics and the idea of creating games, and it was dead simple to do simple graphics in BASIC. Although I haven't written any code in BASIC in over 10-12 years, it still holds a special place in my heart since it was the language that I used to realize my passion for programming and computers in general. I most definitely wouldn't be where I am today, if it wasn't for BASIC (and QBASIC).
