How did you learn to program?

I'm quite of a tech enthusiast. Started programming at the age of 14 and now I'm 18 years of age. That makes it 4 years of experience. I'm currently a Second-year Computer Science university student.
I personally learn from books but first I used to watch YouTube videos till I realized I wanted more than that. We have good lecturers too.
In Africa, there are several educational bodies that teach all this stuff and gradually we are developing technologically. The only problem here is the risk and fear to start a business :)
