Started to write computer programs using Algol 60 and Fortran running on a mainframe computer.
Learned to program in APL, MS-DOS QuickBasic , MySQL, PHP, C, C++, MS Visual Basic and MS Visual C++ and to write DHTML pages using JavaScript.
If you are interested in playing against or programming your first own JavaScript engine for the five-in-a-row game check out my online page:
My first own Python scripts are dated 2003.
