I got my start into programming with VB6 (or maybe it was 5). After reading through a Windows programming book for C++, which I understood nothing from, I almost gave up. Until my father got me a wonderful tutorial Visual Basic 5/6 for Kids (http://www.kidwaresoftware.com/vbkids.htm http://www.kidwaresoftware.com/vbkids.htm).
First day in, I had a form with a button. Clicking the button would change the form background colour to blue. I had to restart the app to get the form background back to the default one so I could demo it again, but I still remember how excited I got over that one simple thing. I would show it to everyone in my family.
If it hadn't been for that, I'm not sure I'd be a programmer today. Just an amazing product for it's time.
