Haha so you know the feeling well.
Makes sense, guessing not many high schools even had one computer until the Apple II, which I guess would have been a bit after you graduated.
Side note, I love that it's possible to take a course like that online for ~free now.
- ghaff 7y agoI didn't touch a personal computer until a few years later in a job where we had an Apple II to do some engineering calculations. High school was BASIC using a teletype connected to a local community college--and that was pretty forward looking at the time. I did take a FORTRAN course in college which people would consider very rudimentary today. This was the textbook :-) https://openlibrary.org/works/OL6795090W/A_Fortran_coloring_book https://openlibrary.org/works/OL6795090W/A_Fortran_coloring_... But I didn't really use a computer to speak of (other than as a text editor in grad school) until I was working--and later got into programming as a hobby.
- ericd 7y agoOh, that's a pretty sweet looking textbook. Reminds me a bit of http://landoflisp.com/ http://landoflisp.com/
