C

Desolée, cette page n'a pas encore été traduite en français. Voici la version anglaise.
Eventually I thought I ought to learn a 'real' language, what with HyperCard being perceived as rather toy-ish. I taught myself C (and later relearnt it at a blisteringly painful pace at university) and mucked around with it a bit. I didn't really find it that interesting, since I could only do console-IO and some tweaks to a Mac GUI example. Then I discovered something useful that can be done with console-IO... websites! Yep, I wrote CGIs. The first version of the Apronyms site was written in C. It was pretty painful in some ways, C really wasn't made for web programming. But it was something useful, something interesting, something pretty!

Years later, I got a job at Software of Excellence where I programmed in C (and a tiny bit of C-in-.cpp-files) for Windows. I did that for three years.

Meanwhile, C turned out to be a useful basis for learning C++ and Objective-C.
