 I started in FORTRAN first, tutored a class (where I got my handle...)
 and then Pascal and ANSI C. I remember a great book called "Numerical
 Recipes in FORTRAN" that was full of code snippets and flow charts for
 most analytics needs, it was like a "Cliff's Notes" for every FORTRAN
 text. Later on, they translated it to C, which seemed a much more
 cumbersome language for the kind of algorithms in the book.
