yes, it's easier now, but it wasn't all that bad back then, I've learned a lot about programming using the net at the very same time. I was living in Serbia, which back then was in wars and under UN sanctions and the access to the new books was very limited, so we had to use the net. There was no googling and stackoverflow, but we had altavista, usenet (which was de facto StackOverflow of those times), even some tutorials on gopher :) One of the best tutorial sites was Webmonkey.com, I've made my first web steps thanks to them.

I have learned foxpro, and could fit all of it in my mind (I read all the official documentation, and the sourcecode available in the tool). And that let you do a end-to-end app with just fox/visual foxpro. Now, I html+js+(angular/jquery/...)+css(less?sass?)+nosql,postgressql,obj-c,sqlite,functional, declarative, reactive, imperative, *nix, windows, osx, and that is just a small sample of what I'm doing now...
