QBasic was my first programming language, and the one I had by far the most fun in. In my college days I had planned on becoming a programmer but instead went into web development, as ASP/PHP/SQL scripting reminded me more of the simplicity and fun of BASIC.

There was a yearly SkillsUSA competition which I entered for web design, but also signed up for the "Qbasic" competition when I saw it on the list out of sheer amusement. Never expected to see a QBasic competition. Didn't think I'd even get through the qualifying exam but I surprisingly ended up coming back with 1st place in both at the state level. (That competition didn't go any higher.)

There's something pretty amusing about having a 1st place medal for Qbasic. :)
