Not buying that Perl book at the college bookstore in 1994 and not really digging in deep when I first encountered RDBMs at about the same time. At the time I was learning grad level social science with a quantitative focus - lots of statistics with SPSS. Around 2012 I started adding in HTML, PHP, Javascript, SQL, R and now working on Python. I was right on the verge of putting together the multi-disciplinary skill set that serves me well today as early as the mid 1990s.
