QBASIC -> HTML -> CSS -> some Javascript -> LUA
Started out writing programs the long way for my T-86 for math, which escalated to games:
Blackjack
health tracker for 6 playing Magic: The Gathering
LARP character sheets
All handdrawn dot by dot....
Decided to try HTML, got quite involved. Started to wonder if there was a more organized way to do things, which lead to my discovery of CSS. And of course I started to want to do nifty stuff, so I learned some JS bits. Started playing WoW and decided to try my hand at "real" coding (term used loosely) and found I quite enjoyed it. 28 years later since that painful night for my mother, although later than most, I've found a hobby that I enjoy and turning it into a career....
End of first term at the end of this month and got my CIW internet certification already.
