I second what Dave said: VirtuslSVN Server and Anhk. The only issues that I have had have been "user" error.

I also like the fact if you really do screw things up, you run a command prompt across the solution ot delete all the .svn files and you get your clean solution back.
Had to do that once when I messed up a migration, it was my fault in the first place....

Sounds weird and is most likely better a suitable subject for the Soapbox.

14. Year 1984. Wrote few games like Tic Tac Toe and a Payroll application in ROM Basic. It was on earliest PC that had no hard drive and everything was on a removable 8" floppy.

Similar. I was 7 in 1986. I learned on GW-Basic on a Tandy 1000 (no hard drive, but 5.25-inch diskettes).

Same here, except I didn't have any idea of I was doing at the time. PCM, ftw! ("PC Magazine")
They had a bunch of qbasic code in the back of each magazine for different games.

11. It was code inspired by the listings in the Commodore 64's User Manual. Great times.
It was 1983.

7, on a Timex Sinclair 1000, BASIC language.

15. At school during lunch hour. Dialed up to a mainframe on 300 baud modem using a DecWriter. It was Basic in 1976.
|
|

18 in 1979 on a Nova Mainframe with a teletype machine as a terminal.
It could only handle 8 words a minute typing speed and as the mainframe crashed so often, we used to type straight onto punched tape as a backup.
Also basic but this version line numbers were required.
God I'm old!

About 1976 at a pre-college introduction to electronics at Portsmouth University (then Polytechnic).
I was 16 and we programmed a large computer that was kept in its own air-conditions room using BASIC.
The code was loaded using punched tape.
There was a medium sized box sitting on the table, that we were told was their new computer that had the same power as the room sized one did. (The room sized one was based on discrete transisters with wire-wrap connections).

10. Basic on a Dargon 32, and I still have it, with tapes and a user manual!!
|
|
|
|
|
Still have my C64 complete with tape and 1541 Drive. I don't think it is still in working condition though cause it is stored.
|

|

Always wanted the disk drive, pocket money won't strech for it.
|

It was around 1980 too. No hard disk, no floppy disk, just a normal tape recorder. 1 kB of RAM on a 1 MHz zx81 with basic in ROM.

normal cassette tape recorder - ME TOO

My first BIG program was to quiz myself on vocab words - one cassette wrinkle and it was GONE!

This is an interesting question because those of us who grew up in an age of valve radios, no TV and wind-up gramophones couldn't possibly have written any lines of code in our early years! I was 28 when I wrote my first line of code - in hexadecimal machine code - without even the benefit of an assembler!
A supplementary question could be "What month/year did you write your first line of code?" to which I would reply September 1977 (if I remember correctly).
Incidentally, my mention of gramophones reminds me of the 3 standard speeds for records, 33, 45 & 78 rpm and did you know that if you were born in '45 you'd be 33 in '78?

62. Seriously. I worked as a reporter, writer and researcher until then.
