Got introduced to the school computer in 1980 - a Texas 990/10 mini. Immediately went out and bought a bunch of books on BASIC (the only language we were allowed to use). Bought a UK101 for home use (8k 6502), bought Rodnay Zaks' book on 6502. Also Leo Brodie's book on Forth. So self taught from books - the only way to learn back then !

Fascinating! Yeah it's funny how we tend to take Google/Stack overflow and all the amazing resources on the internet for granted now haha
