My mother was programming FORTRAN, my father was a UNIX-admin (mostly HP-UX, AIX). My brother is a self-taught programmer as well. Yet, I didn't pick up programming before university. Which was good, because I learned Ruby on the side to spice it up a bit. Back then, Rails wasn't released and anyone ever heard of Ruby, which is quite an advantage today.
