You started with BASIC? You know, "It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration."

Mentally mutilated Posted Apr 18, 2012 18:34 UTC (Wed) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] Well, what can you do. At least it was not Visual Basic; and my first programs were really Spectrum Basic. Actually I have very fond memories of GFA basic. When I recoded the 3D graphic application I did for the Atari ST in 68k assembler, for speed gains, I was ultimately unable to debug it, probably due to the massive brain damage inflicted by the various Basic dialects.That was when I was young and agile, now that I am older I have learned not to do anything too clever in my code.
