Personally, it started when I was a kiddo. I guess I took that interest from my dad since he was a programmer at the time. not that original. I imagine that some of you have more interesting stories about this subject. ^^

    Not really a programmer but I find it useful from day to day. I picked up coding in collage when I had to take a VB6/.net class. before that I was mostly hacking together shell scripts but not really writing my own code for anything until that class.

    Come to find out after that, my dad had learned Basic back in the day and had a bunch of learning material for our old Apple II Gs but never shared any of that with us kids… Thanks Dad.

        Nah, was more like the computer was his toy and the kids playing on it could mean that we broke his toy… Jokes on him I work in IT now.

        Still wish I had the old II Gs though. Going to have to pick one of them up off ebay some day… they are not too expensive for a vintage computer.
