Macromedia Flash 4.

Screenshot here. Not really programming, but it was a gentle-enough introduction.

Then JavaScript. Back in the days of writing one site for Internet Explorer on Windows, one for Netscape and another for Mac.

JavaScript couldn't do everything I needed so since my server ran some kind of Linux it had Perl. Over time I learned a little bit here and a little bit there. It really is true what they say about learning to speak "baby talk" at first.

I've since got a job with a mostly Microsoft-based dev shop but several parts of our product are written in Perl on Linux + Apache.
