When Steve Jobs was 13, he called up Bob Hewlitt to ask for some spare parts for a frequency counter he was working on. He worked at HP, was a technician at Atari, and attended the Homebrew Computer Club. He does know about electronics, and it doesn't seem like too much of a stretch to me that he might actually know a thing or two about programming as well.
