what is your first programming language that you study

I was taught basic HTML in school, then C in college. Later I studied PHP myself.
About to learn C again to do some backend stuffs where pure speed is required than PHP.
 
Visual Basic 6 in high school and then Java at university.
 
Cobol in 1987, damn it (it's COBOL btw). :) Then, simultaneously Basic. Didn't get any good job or freelance projects (offline ofc). Then jumped to AutoCad/AutoLisp (1988-89), and began really earning and then the major one was SQL, Sybase, SQL Server, VB, etc and worked around and in the top countries and companies of the western world in 1990s.

P.S.:
Could have really made it big, but the freelance job that came to me involved creating an accounting system for one of the most affluent diamond merchants in Mumbai (it was called Bombay then), and it involved helping turn the black marketing and tax-evading system those guys used into computerized program form. of course my conscience told me not to do it on ethical grounds,... so lost the huge opportunity of becoming a (multi-)millionaire within 1 year then!... Damn my conscience... lol :D

I have studies C++ in my school days and this was the first programming languare learn by me.
 
I started with C# (that's what we studied in high school) and then I continued to Java and now I'm programming in Android (which is basically Java with a little bit of new code for mobile)
 
Basic at the time of my ZX81 with thermo printpaper later on :D
I'm feeling old... :/

I too had began on that small "super (at that time -- 1987)" computer and Basic (the language) it was...and ofc lots of games... well, "lots of" meant only a handful :(. I don't even remember how the "super computer" looked. It was cassette driven I think... The PC had a couple of floppy drives, and then came the BIG 20 mb hard disk with the PC-XT (I actually learned AutoCAD and AutoLisp, dBase III, WordStar, and PageMaker on it... yes, Lotus123 too).... WOW! AND then came the eighth wonder of the world of that time... Windows... much later!

I'm feeling like a Pioneer|Vasco-da-gama|CColumbus|etc... :D:D:D

Technically, my first programming language was Logo. This was back when I was a kid in the 80's.
Code:

Then, in the early 90's, Pascal
Code:

Quickly followed by Assembly language and C
Code:

My first language was C, then C++, working with Java now and making bots with selenium.
 
Maybe slightly different but my first language was Objective-C for embedded systems, PowerPC to be specific. Then ANSI C. Then C++. Then Java.

Now I spend 80% of my time in Java and 20% in C++.
 
The first programming language I studied was C.
 
My first language was C, then I learned C++ which is not recommended.(Should learn C++ before C)Last but certainly not least assembly.
 
pascal was the first one for homeworks
c was the first serious one
