I first learned to program in Atari BASIC on an Atari 400 in the early 80s. My first real BASIC project was something that added DOS commands to BASIC which I submitted to ANALOG Magazine (it was rejected). I also made a few simple games. I moved on to the Atari ST when I went to college and coded in Pascal and C.

My first project I ever publicly released was JumpSTART written in Personal Pascal for the Atari ST. I've just recently put the original Pascal source on GitHub.
