My first exposure to programming
- colbyolson 17y agoBoy how I loved mIRC. Granted I was one of the cretins populating MSNChat, this too was my gateway to programming. I can remember the nights spent typing in trivial code, but it gave me such a rush! The feeling of being able to create things on impulse, to share code, and even being able to critique other peoples code, are things I miss so much. This is why I've picked up Python, in an effort to reignite that rush. I miss it, a lot.
- kellishaver 17y agoSame here. I'd toyed with BASIC as a kid, but learning mIRC's scripting language was my first real attempt at learning to program something. I spent hours playing around in it making little utilities and add-ons and bots, etc.
