Hello,
10 years ago, my sisters boyfriend at the time was a programming consultant for a big company and would do a lot of his work at our house where I would always nag him to show me how to program.
Anyways one day, the internet was down, he was unable to perform any work and he got fed up with me asking that he showed me how to open up Notepad and write simple HTML and load it into the browser.
In high-school I learned how to program cheat-sheets onto my TI-83 calculator written in BASIC. After high-school then came college.
