My entire life. I started in 1975 when I was 16 - taught myself BASIC and wrote a very crude downhill skiing game. I had dial in access to the mainframe at a local college (my HS math teacher got that for me). I could only access it off hours, so I wrote my program to yellow paper tape then uploaded it over a 110 baud connection. Then taught myself FORTRAN, then went to college at Rochester Institute of Technology majoring in Computer Engineering. First class was Pascal, then FORTRAN, which I tested out of. Then IBM 360 assembly language, then C. After college I taught myself SQL, shell programming, perl, C++, python, and PHP. And in just the last 2 years javascript, jQuery, HTML, and CSS. It never stops. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
