When I was a kid I played around with HTML and CSS a bit... not really programming, but contributed to an Animal Crossing fan site and forum. 😂

The first true programming language I learned was Scheme in C211 at Indiana University. I remember being frustrated at the time at the lack of constructs like for loops, but now appreciate getting exposed to functional paradigms early on.
