   I learned programming by getting a book from a library, taking it with me on vacation and trying to make a pong clone on my dad's work notebook (some 486 i guess).
   
   i think most kids these days will probably come to it either via webdev or modding games.

     @lain I started learning programming by copying from random youtube tutorial, then by asking stupid questions on programmer forums, where I was recomended a nice book…

     Unfortunately, back then I only knew there is some “C” language, so I searched youtube for “c programming tutorial” iirc. Bad starting decision.

     my first was on a Laser-310, on which I learnt

     10 PRINT fuck 20 GOTO 10

     kids these days have much more fun ways to learn programming (also a lot more distractions)
