I cut my web-teeth on CGI. I was a TA instructing physics undergrads in C (I think around 2007). I only really knew C and python myself, and was tasked with building a page which students could upload programs and results to. It was the perfect abstraction given the tools I had and my primitive understanding HTTP at the time. It took a few yesrs to realise I was hooked, and while I don't use CGI nowadays I'm really glad I started out with it.
