36 years ago a very young me took a programming class in 3rd grade where learned "Small Talk", which was going to be how everybody worked with computers in the future.
I still credit most of my skill at programming to the fact that I was introduced to that and Forth in elementary school. I also miss those C64s....
- bogwog 4y agoWow my highschool didn't even offer programming classes. The closest thing to a computer education were some classes that required us take online tests to obtain Microsoft Office and/or Adobe Photoshop "certifications" before we could graduate.
- bandrami 4y agoMy high school didn't either, just my elementary school. The mid-1980s were a different time....
- actuallyalys 4y agoI think I caught the tail end of that in the 90s. I remember taking a class from the local parks and recreation department where we programmed a little robot in (I think?) LOGO.
