I think I started with Dbase 3+ and Basic.

I am a Gamer... I play games and not consoles. I have a PC and Console on which I game... I like games. End of Story!

Better late then never.

Not at all. I learned Basic and QBasic in middle school and Pascal in high school but the stuff I learned from all three of those really didn't do a lot for me that a few weeks in a basic C/C++ couldn't teach me. I went into college knowing just those three basic languages and never touching C/C++ and now I have my shiny C++ degree I don't really use.

(I use a lot of the theory, mainly threaded stuff, but not much at all for the rest(

No it isn't but be carefull of C's pointers they can be very tricky in the beginning

How can you possibly misspell QWERTY? It's spelled correctly on the damn keyboard.
