QBasic and DOS batch files on the family computer, back when those were beige! I wanted to make games, and started teaching myself from an old GW-BASIC reference book.

Then I read all the way through "Teach Yourself C in 21 Days" even though I didn't get a C compiler for a few more years :)

Mostly C++ and Python these days. After doing this for 25 years I still find it fascinating.
