My first coding was at University about 35 years ago. No PCs back then, you used punch cards for input and everything came out on paper about a half hour later in a bin periodically filled by the I/O clerk. To go tinker on code you had to walk a couple blocks (or hitch up the buggy) to the I/O room in the building that housed the university mainframe. Fairly simple programs would take weeks to debug.
A few years ago I accidentally inherited a forum (long story) and couldn't help messing with the html. When I got another admin who is a professional programmer he got me started with php and JavaScript. I'm glad I started learning all that stuff in vB3. Even the html/css on vB4 would have scared me off, let alone the more complex php.
EDIT: Does anyone else here have experience with analog computers? I was never very good at it (always overloaded integrators)
