Yes! That may have been the first "programming language" I learned. Though it may have been on a Mac, so I'm not sure if a PC implementation exists (and then still not sure if it would work on a modern OS).

The first programming language I learned was FORTRAN. You wrote it out on a piece of paper and gave it to a bunch of women sitting in a room, who came back to you the following day with a stack of different coloured punch cards ("Don't drop them again like you did last time, dearie, ha ha") which you handed over to a very important man called an Operator ("No you can't come into the computer room, only fully trained people are allowed to touch The Computer, it's very expensive you know") who loaded them for you. A few hours later you were handed a pile of paper covered with arcane symbols and gibberish and you would then spend the next few days trying to figure out why your program didn't work so that you could start all over again.
Kids today just don't know how to have fun.

I taught myself coding when I was 14. Was volunteering in my public library for the summer and saw a magazine have an ad for one of those community college schools (vo-tech) that say "Learn computer programming and get a high paying job! Make your own Windows Applications" (back then, in 1994, Windows Applications were all the rage, because Windows 3.0 and 3.1 were all the shizz and we were just about to have Win95 sprung on us).
So I just saw Visual C++ 1.0 in a box on the shelf of the local CompUSA and begged my parents and they bought it for me (Visual C++ 1.0 cost something like $79 back then, if I remember)
So I just took the manuals (hard copy print books!) to bed with me and in six months, bam!
I had finished the Scribble tutorial. Ahhh, those were the days...I mean, can you imagine! Printed manuals heee heee

Ah, 14 floppy disks and the Que book (which was the only other reference) had samples that didn't work. Those were the days.

Surprised it wasn't mentioned. Perhaps because virtually everyone here knows about it already?

See, you gave one link and when I opened it, it showed two options 'free trial' & 'purchase' on the top of homepage. What does that tell me... hence the comment to you to post details a little.
