Do you remember the FIRST project made by you?

Do you remember the very first project made by you when you started learning to code in a particular programming language or framework? I always look at my old projects as they show me how long it's been and how far I have been able to come and how much of a better programmer/developer I am than earlier. Why not share your first projects with everyone, don't worry about it not being good, first projects are never the perfect, even if you are a beginner and currently making your first project, I would love to know about them!

I will be posting my first projects in the comment section πŸ‘‡

It was on an Oric 1, and it didn't even have lower case characters if I remember correctly ... ;)

yes i remember. I did programming since i entered in my college in 2016. First time, i didn't know about programming, even i read flowchart and pseudocode still not understand. And off course, time by time, i was able to write code with C++. Until in 2019, there was a project that first time i received from my friend in my village. By chance, in that year in my village held general election to choose village head. And my friend asked me to make an application that can map voters in my village. First time i was confused to what technology or programming language that i wanted to use. Finally after asked into my friend who had experienced in programming, i choosed laravel for developing my application . So thats it, the simple story about my first project,,, :)))

My first project was a determinate of matrix using PDP-11 assembly when I was 14 (My older brother was in college and had an account on the PDP-11). I always aim very high! My next programs were in Basic on the Commadore computer for simulating robot intelligence. An alpha robot (pure reflexive) and a beta robot (reflexive with memory of what worked). I didn’t have enough memory for the gamma robot (basic generalization). I was following a book written with a different Basic version that I had to adapt. I forgot the name of the book. It was a lot of fun!

Oh man, well there were a few small things I did, but my first real "software" was a little utility tool with C# and WPF for getting pixel color from your mouse position on Windows. This was like 2013!

It ended up being pretty useful over the years so a few years back I gave it a little UI overhaul and put it on the Windows store.

Here's a link on my site :)

It's probably not my first project but it's on my GitHub. It's a portfolio website I made in 2010. Super basic with far too much 3D and not enough code. And it uses an obsolete language πŸ™ƒ

After school in 6th grade there was an html workshop for those who were interested. I was there with one other classmate and we crates a plain html homepage (yes including marquee) but the best was that on the machine was CS 1.4 installed and the workshop supervisor was absent for a while 😍

I used to make weird projects whenever our teacher/instructor would be late or absent, used to be so much fun πŸ˜†

Black and white text adventure title screen reading Dungeon! by Chris Greening November 2017

For my physics degree I was taking a required class on Fortran and although I understood the classwork I just wasn't feeling any passion for it. Throughout the semester the professor repeatedly blasted Python as a waste of time for physicists and it got to the point where I was like "hm you know what I'm gonna learn some Python just to spite this guy" so I installed Python and immediately fell in love (which subsequently changed the course of my life)

My first project was a text adventure (Dungeon!) that I wrote during the following long weekend and I still consider that to be one of my proudest accomplishments in both programming and life in general (despite being the most awful code I've ever written). I have it backed up just about everywhere as I am very fond of going back to it and reflecting on it every once in a while

I wrote some additional backstory on it in this blog post I wrote a while back:

amaaaaaaaaaaaaazing, I actually started playing on the site πŸ˜† the photography section is amazing as well, the text based rpg game looks fine too, I actually played something very similar on itch.io some days ago!

My first usable projects where websites based on newspro a pearl cgi script that stores articles in textfiles.
I modiefied the shit out of it so that it works for most purposes, mostly counter strike clan websites.
Then someone suggested to use PHP and I started to dig into it.
I was using it script based and it was a mix of html, css and php all together in one glorious fuckup only I was able to read.
