{{mylang|Rockstar|Discovered this language in November 2022 and it became my instant favorite.}}
{{mylang|Waduzitdo|Discovered it in 2023, I am one of the only current fans of this language left, yet at the same time the minimalism can make it frustrating for me.}}
{{mylang|Batch File|Since 2007, learning to develop games with it}}
{{mylang|HTML|Since 2006, W3Schools certified in August 2020}}
{{mylang|JavaScript|Since 2006, W3Schools certified in June 2022}}
{{mylang|CSS|Since 2008, not yet W3Schools certified but getting closer}}
{{mylang|XML|Since 2007, I'm still learning about well-formedness and hoping to invent my own XML-based language}}
{{mylang|KeyList Databasing|Since 2006, first programming language I ever learned, and this language is becoming more obsolete by the minute}}
{{mylang|UNIX Shell|Since 2008, very little, I'm still obsessed with the MS-DOS Batch-file language}}
{{mylang|Brainf***|Since 2011, very little, still trying to grasp that tape and cell concept}}
{{mylang|X86 Assembly|Newbie! Haven't made programs yet; I'm actually scared of programming it, but reading code and studying about how it works is fascinating}}
{{mylang|Java|W3Schools certified in August 2022}}
{{mylang|C++|W3Schools certified in August 2022}}
{{mylang|Plain English|My favorite language as far as source code reading, but programming is still difficult}}
{{mylang|Lilypond|I am better at this than any other language; after all, I'm mostly a musician and composer, and coding is just another thing that fascinates me}}
{{mylang|Python|Took a lot of W3Schools material but I'm not certified yet, and I love the way that Python handles great big googological numbers so it's my favorite one to use as a calculator, well except for things that need to be handled as floats like when you divide things}}
{{mylang|SQL|I'm new, but my fascination keeps growing the more I read about it}}
{{mylang|VBScript|I need practice}}
{{mylang|PHP|Total newbie; if I'm going to make web software it's going to be front-end, and PHP is more about backend, but I love the notation, and I think as far as backend goes, it's better than Node, despite the fact that I'm a big-time JavaScripter}}
{{mylang|Perl|I picked up the basics when I first considered writing backend software, but when I downloaded Strawberry Perl for Windows I got distracted because it came with a copy of the GCC C and C++ compiler}}
{{mylang|C|Finished all the W3Schools courses, they don't offer a certification in it yet but I am slightly annoyed with some aspects of C anyway, maybe I just prefer the object-oriented stuff, but still it's interesting enough that I learned it and I'm putting it on my profile}}
{{mylang|COBOL|Been reading about it a little bit here and there since 2006, but just read into it more deeply this year. Still not my favorite to program in, but its syntax makes it fun to read.}}

Hello, this is
==Beginning Programming Experience==
I started learning the ASCII values in 2005. I had an old time Braille 'n Speak (a computer for the blind, that has audio on it). That thing didn't even have a web browser on it! I started programming with KeyList (KLT) Databasing, a programming language even the smartest of programmers just might not know about. It is a language that runs on the BrailleNote, a more updated computer for the blind, with a refreshable Braille display and speech that is actually eloquent (not to say that it uses Eloquence Speech Synthesizer :D). I would write these databases for my BrailleNote, and keep personal data in them
==From Code-Picking to Hitting the Books==
In July of 2006, (when I was obsessively listening to music) I was looking at some files built into my computer. These particular files had a .htm file extension. I would open them in my word-processor just to see what they looked like. And I saw what you would see; lines upon lines of code! When I opened it in my browser, (obviously) I saw an almost-plain document, with some marks (which turned out to be images in IMG tags) in the document. I thought to myself, "Gosh! If these codes don't need to be compiled, then it should be easy to write files using it, right?" Whether you believe me or not, it actually ''was'' easy learning HTML. My first few lessons (starting on July 4, 2006) I taught myself just by looking at HTML documents in my computer and on the Internet. It took me a while to figure out how to put a title in my titlebar (the first HTML
==The Next Step: MS-DOS never ceases to exist, Lots of Apps, Braille Tables, and Bleeping Buttons==
In early 2007, I started writing apps in JavaScript. The first one was code, copied almost exactly out of the JS Definitive Guide. It was for factorials. I messed around with HTML and JavaScript, and I had big dreams of Java. I kept trying Java, but the programs never worked. And, now that I'm wiser, I'm starting to realize that in order to do Java, you need the program to convert it into bytecode. (Duh!) I am going to email Sun one of these days, because I want them to make a Java interpreter that reads and runs Java like a browser and its components run JavaScript and HTML. After a year or two of being brainwashed into thinking that the MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System) programming language was obsolete, I was shocked to find out that the Command Prompt program in Windows allows you to write and run programs in MS-DOS. I went to ComputerHope.com, to their page on MS-DOS, and picked the
