This as well as Comal were the two languages that introduced me to the big wide world of programming. I've been hooked ever since, but I'd never touch Pascal again in my life!
Picked this up in Uni for a 'use whatever language you want' assignment to build a basic banking system. The course was focused on databases (relational), but I used it as an opportunity to learn PHP. I now only use it in the capacity of tweaking Wordpress sites.
Wrote a simple version-control system as a set of bash scripts for a Uni project. Great fun, but more than anything it helped me make better use of the Linux terminal.
The University mandated language for learning GUI programming & software design patterns. This cumulated in a simple vector-based image editor, with file-saving, undo history, and the usual bells & whistles.
