BASIC (TRS-80 Model I)

1980–

got a trs 80 - had to type stuff in.. except sometimes they didn't work straight from the book so i had to work them out

BASIC

1980–

i did a lotta basic on the trs80, and lots more using GW-basic on XT, AT and later

QBasic

1987–

LOGO

1987–1988

my primary school had this hidden away on a computer. I got in trouble for not following the lesson plan and banned from using the school's only computer for the rest of my primary school years.. I think because i managed to run things the teacher didn't know existed. She was afraid i was breaking it in some way. computers were scary

Pascal

1989–

the year is just a guess

Turbo Pascal

1989–

VisualBasic

1993–

kinda like programming using a mouse.

Ladder logic

1994–1997

Had a summer job, making the frequency of the national grid appear on a LED display for SCADA operators -- this used ladder logic. This turned into a recurring gig throughout my highschool years. Never did get the decimal point to appear on the right hand display.

1995–

mostly embedded stuff

bash

1995–

oh gosh, people write whole programmes with this? learn to perl!

VBScript

1995–

My mispent teenage years, and a recurring holiday job making intranet webpages to display weather modelling data for a hydro electric scheme.

Delphi

1996–2002

kinda like Visual Basic, but with more typing required to make things go ;-) Then when i got to engineering school they also used delphi to control various actuators.

FoxPro

1996–

Visual foxpro memories

C++

1998–

by the time i got to university, C++ and OO was all the rage. Also for palm pilots, and winCE

Assembly

Z80 counts, right?

Z80 Assembly

1998–
