Where did you first learn how to code?

Was it Sololearn? Sublime text 3? Help from a friend? Code academy? Interested in knowing where we all got our start. I started right here, on this gr8 site.☺

At home, with my father and the first personnal computers in early 80's... The first computer I encountered/used was a TRS-80 kit from Tandy Corp./Radio Shack build by my father ^^ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS-80

@Jay: Don't be sorry, it's life (even it's end of life), and as lot of things, this is an ambivalent feeling of sadness and freeing/discharge ^^ (and he was never be as much present than since he died)

I learned BASIC as a kid with my first computer back in the mid 90s. Then I picked up HTML, CSS, and Java on my own in high school.
