    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.
