Every developer remembers their first It works! moment. 😄 What did you build, and what language were you using? For me, it was creating a login screen in C using graphics. Seeing my code turn into something visual on the screen felt amazing and made me want to build more.
I created an active x control in the free version of VB5 that was a "soft button" that mimic'd the buttons in Internet Exploder 3. I submitted the code to CNET and it went viral... it got me my first IT job in 1996.

Starting in 2003, I worked with Visual Basic 6 and built a train management system for an charitabale trust. They used it for more than a decade, though I am not sure if they still use it today.
