What's the first thing you remember coding?

Almost the same experience...

I was 7 or 8 and wrote the first code out of the manual. The only exception is that my computer was Didaktik Gama (a local ZX Spectrum clone).

10 Print "Geoff is Cool"
20 Goto 10

Yes I am that old. It's in the Basic language for those who don't recognize it . Forgive me I might have been 14 when I wrote that donkey years ago.

I started in my last year of high school. Got pretty hooked on building an E-Commerce Brand on Shopify. My goal was to implement additional features using PHP.

Honestly I had no idea how this all worked and felt lost coding. Fortunately I starting self learning how to code 1,5 years ago and now I am at a point were I wanna start my own SaaS.

So my learning here was that it's totally normal to feel completely clueless when you start coding or learn a new framework, technology. But the more you learn the more you will master.

echo hi

10 PRINT "COREY."
20 GOTO 10

RUN

Something in Visual Basic (the classic one). Woow!

Nice! I wish I had one of those.

Mine was "Hello, world!" for MS-DOS in C++.

#include <iostream.h>

int main() {
    cout << "Hello, world!\n";
    return 0;
}

The beeping of Close Encounters of the Third kind in Basic on an Atari 800XL.

The first thing I actually completed was a Space Invaders clone with Star Trek-themed enemies.

a simple web page with a fancy <marquee> tag (¬_¬ ), in 2013 I guess 😪

print the statement "Hello World"!

I suppose most of us just code "Hello, world!" in choosed programming language. TBH, I don't remember my first bigger program, but I think it was something related with text processing and URLs in Perl. It was about 15 years ago, so I could forgot about something.

I remember stealthily coding a really basic text game early during my high school CS class, because I never found formal teaching very interesting. Was in C++, only language I knew at the time.

Technically not the first, but it is the first thing I remember that wasn’t just basic variable assignment.

If we call HTML coding nowadays, surely writing BBCode to format forum posts counts :krad:

I modified likes of my facebook post using inspect element, I tried all day and hoped that the likes will show even if I refresh the page 😭
