- tjl 12y agoTurtle programming in Logo was the first time I programmed on something that wasn't a home computer. It was on an Icon computer [1] at my local high school (I was in elementary at the time). It was also the first time I programmed in something other than BASIC. I loved working with the turtle in Logo. [1] http://www.computernostalgia.net/articles/icon.htm http://www.computernostalgia.net/articles/icon.htm
