When I was a kid I printed some BASIC tutorials and would bring them to school and write my code on paper then type it up at home. I only ever made a few simple programs for my Cybiko. Totally forgot about that until seeing your comment.

When I was a kid in school and got bored I would write html on a paper notebook. It got tedious quickly and sorta made me adopt a haml like notation for brevity. Around the same time I had a pocket pc that I would take to vacations. It had a limited mobile IE, but no code or raw text editor, and I didn’t know how to get one. So I would code in JS 1.5 using pocket Word, then as soon as I got back home from holidays I would use ActiveSync to retrieve the word docs to my pc, convert them to HTML, and then sync them back to my pocket pc for use in pocket IE. Made so many fun apps this (clunky) way. I also completely forgot about this until I saw your comment, thanks for triggering this trip down memory lane and apologies for the massive OT.
