#14I started with HyperCard as a kid. My parents got me a couple Java books but I never got into it. My first real programming experience was with Python when I was in high school. My dad told me that no one uses Python and that I should learn C++, so that's what I did. That was over 10 years ago so things have changed a bit with regard to Python :)
These days my favorites are C, Python, and Scheme.

#16Not sure how BASIC didn't make this list. Played around with it first on an old tandy my dad had and then got actually interested when I started learning ti-basic for the ti-86. First "modern" language was PHP, although I don't know if you can really count PHP3 as modern.
There's probably quite a few people who started out during the 8-bit micro era who will have some variant of BASIC or BASIC + assembly as a 'first language'. Pascal was widely used in higher education during roughly the same period.

#17There's no Lisp/Scheme option. This wasn't my first, but I know many who learned Scheme from SCIP as their first language.
I agree, there ought to be a lisp option.
Re: Poll: What was the first programming language you learned?
#18seems strange to put php with javascript, html, and css, while giving ruby and python their own options.
I didn't have the luxury of ruby or python when I learned to program HTML--this was sometime in 1997/1998. I had cgi and perl, although I didn't use them too much.

#19C# (and the rest of the .NET paradigm along with it). once i got the taste of command-line + gcc in my first Computer Science courses, I never really looked back ..

#20My introduction to programming was with Applesoft BASIC on an Apple IIE in 7th grade.
