Hello World on Python using Wing IDE.
Don't use either of them right now but Python will surely show up again. :) -
I did a Fahrenheit to Celcius converter in C++. (It was guided)
My first somewhat noteworthy project done on my own was a program that determines if you should be accepted into a college based on the requirements. (Was basically getting a grip on if, else, and else if logic.) (It was broken lol.) -
justmove7366yAssembler. can't remember. some bit mask to some leds or some button input detection.
-
Voxera115856yThe very first was the one not printing syntax error but 0 :P
And the printing repeated strings.
It was basic on a sinclair zx80. -
Nawap13976yHello world in blueJ IDE!
Java
It was for noobs, 6yrs ago
But ide was nice for learners -
-
karelian3686yA super-scummy "paintbrush" in BASIC on a HC85, that could only draw lines and circles.
This was back in '95... -
LuPaw6046yCalculator with buttons. Java swing, eclipse. Crappiest calculator ever xD but it worked.. kinda
-
pretty sure it was 93, or 94.
somw weird animation project in the abomination:

Other then that, hello world for Pascal, on fuckin turbopascal (white on blue). -
kiki352916yIf hello world doesn’t count, it was a database in Pascal. Or some ball game thingy. I can’t remember which of these I did first
-
Simple draw/paint program written in VB, I think I was about 13-14 years old (is 32 now π) and got a programming beginner book by my dad.
-
Checking whether an inputted year was a leap year or not back when I was learning C#, probably using VS2010

Eleos1466y...A discord bot with JavaScript
Seeing how many people made hello world scripts, maybe I've been doing stuff the wrong way? -
eeee31506yMy first language was BASIC. My first program probably was printing my own name.
Other things I made with it were code from newspaper snippets. Yes. You read that right: the newspaper had a piece of code every week for a fully functional program. Always somewhere between 10 and 200 lines of code, but mostly short stuff. Tiny games or nice drawings, etc. It was tedious to type everything and if I made some mistake it wasn't obvious where it was introduced (GOTO statement galore make it hard).
I even had my nanny read the code to me to speed up the process. Poor lady.
It taught me a lot about the language and how computers work (they only do what you tell them to do). Sometimes I'd find syntax I didn't understand and, at first, I only had the code and its behaviour to find out how it worked. This taught me logical thinking and induction / deduction.
Later I found Q-BASIC, which had a few new syntax features and a nicer text editor with documentation. -
A small game made with the GameMakerLanguage (has a lot of similarities with javascript)
-
Depends how you define program.
1. I made some algorithmic automation in old minecraft (preredstone) - I even saw people make a calculator with water, signs and sand.
2. I edited some modding js for the same game
3. Scratch moving this ugly cat
4. Python print("test") -
MCPE 0.9.5 cheats in javascript.
It shaped my online life more than you would think -
rytzpekt2756yProgram that printed a fractal made in Turbo Pascal in 8th grade. I did not what I was doing at all. I thought that we were going to make something like Tetris. Huge dissappointment.
-
devios157706yNot counting Hello World, my first real program was a speech tester tool written in C for classic Mac back in the 90s that let you play around with the built in text-to-speech library. It didn’t involve anything other than calling an API, but you could change voices, speed, etc.
-
Navigatr9376yThe first "proper" program that I made completely on my own initiative was one that returned a daily horoscope from an RSS feed for the zodiac sign requested by the user. I still remember that pride when I realized that it was all finished. :D
Written in Python using Atom, later went on and made a GUI for it with tkinter. -
I made a program that picked random 1-6, drew the result on screen in the 2D shape of a die (dice?) and played a tune on the internal PC speaker. All done in Q-Basic IIRC on a DOS v3.3 loaded IBM PC2 with 8088 (not 8086) CPU, no RAM, 21 meg HDD and a 5 1/4" floppy.
Though I might confuse the Q-Basic for BASIC on that DOS version...
