How did you learn to code?

How did you learn programming?

[ ] Taught yourself (ie. just experimenting on your own with computers and discovered coding)
[ ] Educated at school
[ ] Tutorials from a book or online
[ ] OTHER (specify)

The first one is for me.  I discovered QBasic when I was like 12.  Good times man.  My first programs were terrifyingly crappy but I loved coding instantly.  I think that teaching myself QBasic just by experimenting and looking at the syntax in the little Help guide built into the IDE was probably the most fun I've had with a computer (is that sad or not?).

I was playing with .bats after reading some shit in a game magazine, then I was taught Pascal in a culture center (the place where moms list 12yo kids because they they think they have too much time). Got some basic C++ in school. After some time I learned PHP from an on-line tutorial. From that point all my learning is like: get an idea - try to write it - when problems appear, find a way to solve 'em - finish - congratz - next project. Way better than writing the same fuckin' "classic algorithms" all the time.
