100% this. I tried to get started as a kid in the early 90's, but there were no resources available for me. Even trying to reverse engineer Gorillas was too much for me at the time, and I didn't have any documentation to help. I got to loops and reading strings, but that was as far as I could go on my own. Rural Alberta sadly also didn't have any libraries or bookshops I could draw from. Back then it really required being in the right place to have an opportunity to learn. Now you just need an internet connection.
- Clubber 5y agoThat was one of the great things about Amazon back in the mid-late 90s, they had a huge selection of computer books at just the right time in computing. I spent hundreds of dollars on those things and still have a bookshelf full of mid-late 90s programming books.
