When I learned programming 20 years ago, it went like this

Start QBASIC

Enter:

PRINT "Hello World!"

Run the program.

Congratulations, you wrote your first program and have become a software developer

You can blame my iPhone for trying to "helpfully" convert my quotes into smart quotes. :(

You’re missing the “install python” step.

Oh and probably you should be using a package manager to do it so figure out which one’s on your system first and learn its interface.

Oh and it’s best practice to create projects in a virtualenv so install that too, and learn how to use it.

The is also a JavaScript programming environment that almost every PC has, the browser. Just open any page and press F12, click the "Console" tab and type `console.log("Hello World")` and you just write your first Hello World.

You can still do that today!

Start ipython (or the interactive interpreter for your language)

Enter:

print("Hello World!") See the result!
