Every once in a while, a meme appears on Twitter asking people to name all the computer languages they know, in the order they learned them. This is a twist on that, with additional information on why.
I first learned BASIC on an Apple ][+, circa 1980, by reading the reference manuals that came with the computer. I was in 8th grade at the time, and the computer was housed in a former photography darkroom, in an Earth Science teacher’s classroom. That teacher’s wife was also a teacher, of Kindergarten. I created a flash card program for her students to learn their letters and numbers.
I went on to program in BASIC on other computers, notably the Commodore VIC-20, and, later, the IBM PC.
