I think the very first code I wrote was in QBasic, but the first _real_ code I wrote was in Visual Basic 6. I drew a row of dice and then a bunch of buttons and wrote a Yahtzee game (single player). It took me weeks and it was mostly a giant nested if statement.

Good times.

Same order for me. Also DOS batch files if they count.

    Me too. QBasic and DOS batch files were the gateway drug.
