Born in '66 I got my first experience with computers in '78 or '79 with the TI-99/4a which I loved from the first sight. I learned coding in BASIC and extended that quite early with Assembler. When TurboPasc99 was introduced, I switched over (never used UCSD Pascal btw) and used Assembler Tools to extend the Pascal possibities. Somewhere in the mid to late 80s I switched over to a PC (286/12) and continued coding there with Turbo-Pascal (5 to 7) and Delphi (2 to 5) later on, ignoring the GW-Basic / Basic-A there almost completely. In parallel using the Microsoft Office I started VBA coding with the 16bit MS-Access 2.0 at Windows 3. Today I'm using the Visual Studio to code in VB.Net and C# mainly. There's still a lot of VBA with Excel, too. And additionally I code some things in Python (RaspberryPi) and even in C++ with Arduino et al. The results are mainly Tools like data converters and the like. A few are IDE like apps to make workflows easier.
