Weird. I have a memory of when I was about 12, attempting to code BASIC on a VTech PreComputer Prestige (not a 'real' computer!): http://ttggallery.blogspot.com/2010/01/vtech-pre-computer-prestige.html http://ttggallery.blogspot.com/2010/01/vtech-pre-computer-pr... The manual had some instructions for learning BASIC. I messed around with it for a few days, but never stuck with it long enough with it to have an epiphany. It was only when I got to college in my late teens that my eyes were opened to the possibilities of programming. Wish I taught myself to code instead of wasting time moping around during my school years!
