Actually, I was a designer and Windows user, and my first contact with these languages came through that context: VBScript was native to Windows, and ActionScript was the language of Macromedia Flash (later Adobe Flash). VBScript showed me that I could “command” the computer, not just drag and drop design tools; meanwhile, AS2 showed me the real possibilities of programming. Since it was based on ECMAScript, it made the transition to other languages much easier.
