Just BASIC

The only programming class I ever had was in grad school. It was a reasonably advanced python class. I really thought I was going to die.

I taught myself to type as a kid with a garage sale machine and book. I can still type pretty well, don't even have to look!!! I was lucky to have an early computer nerd teacher in gradeschool. A group of us learned BASIC and had exposure to Fortran and COBOL (?) mostly we made text based games with lots of nested if/then statements. I wish I had the game I wrote, filled a notebook. Great post and lots of good links to follow up here!!
