    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.)

    The very first was the one not printing syntax error but 0 :P

    And the printing repeated strings.

    It was basic on a sinclair zx80.

    If 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 😁) and got a programming beginner book by my dad.

    Seeing how many people made hello world scripts, maybe I've been doing stuff the wrong way?

    My 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.

    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")

    Program 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.

    Not 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.

    The 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...
