I got a questions asked from one of my delegates the other day, "how did you get to where you are in programming?"

I'm now at a java application realm - and I'm just about OK at it. the path that brought me there:

BASIC > VB6 > PHP > javascript > actionscript > java/objective-C

I still live in the web development but I now prefer java -

I see this as a good flow but I was wondering how you guys got to where you are and the best path to take?

Edit: reword

I guess I've asked the question wrong - I was wondering how to progress to a top level application from starting off in development.

Where good paradyms connect languages.

I won't have considered C++ as my first language see.
