A personal question to Steve xD
« on: October 02, 2008, 01:00:07 pm »
 :D Hi
Steve, when you started programming?
Which language you  learned?

I'm in a technical school, and my course is software development, and I learning Java since the begin of the year.
Until next year our programs are all in the console, next year we'll learn to make GUI's
I wish be a Game Programer (characters moddeling and the program itself) and study Artificial Inteligence...

Heh heh.  I learned FORTRAN IV first.  Punched a bunch of punch cards during my first few years of programming.  Computer graphics meant printing Mona Lisa or Snoopy using a bunch of stars on a line printer.  Wow, that was cool!  I spent every spare moment I had in the computer lab drinking Dr. Pepper and eating cheese crackers out of the vending machines.

Same for me! The batch of punch cards was then processed on a "mainframe" with 256 (later 512) KB RAM. Heroic times!  :)

Punching cards bring back sweet memories.

For me,it was Fortran,Cobol and assembler on a 370 IBM
main frame.

Ho and I remember a PDP11. A red box with 8 switches on the front
panel.You had to load a few instructions manually to boot.

Tough to hide our age talking about that.

Punch-cards (careful, don't screw up the order), batch-processing, waiting in a queue for two hours to get results from an IBM1620 (1967).  Yep, some of us ARE old geezers!

I hope you're not complaining! In 1976 I used to wait two days to find out that my program didn't compile due to some 5 punch cards with syntax errors...
Guilherme Amorim, I'm sure you'll have a hard time to explain your grand sons that computers used to have silicon chips, keybord, mouse and no direct connection to the brain!  :)

some of us won't have to explain, we'll just be able to show off the archaic-but-still-in-use machine itself... i for one know my brain is in such a bad state already, i can't afford to risk having it directly connected to a computer, especially one running Windows! :P  ;D

I learned the history of the computers, and my teacher shown me a punch card, he told me he lost hours compilating a program, sometimes just to discover the program had a syntax error!
