Wow. These books were, well, foundational to me. I had a blast typing those into my C64. Then at a summer camp (CTY at F&M) I thought I was so very clever for writing a version of Nim where the computer would silently pick to go first or second so that it always won. I don't know why I still remember that.
And then some summer jobs writing dBase III and FoxPro, some actual education, and here I am.
Those books absolutely set the tone and sparked that first interest.
