This mirrors my experience exactly. I was really interested in computers and I wanted to learn to program so I could make games.
When I was 10 I went to the library and managed to get hold of a book on C. I took it home, studied it and then typed the programs into Notepad on Windows 95. I had no compiler and no internet. It was literally years before I actually ran a program I had written.
- dijit 7y agoI had the same experience, but the library only had a book on COBOL and the CD with the compiler was missing, so I could write, but never run my code. Didn't help that there was no internet at home, but that's not the fault of the curriculum.
