did this in 1974 without the Internet or modern software tools Anyone doing anything with computers in 1974 did it without the internet or modern software tools. It seems to me it was an era where you were either a 'computer whizz' or else you didn't really get involved with computers. Not saying its not impressive though, I think any programmers from that period who are still remembered now would be rated as 'very very good' by modern standards.
