Off an on, since the early 80s, 1981 or 1982, probably. I went to a magnet school for 5th and 6th grade, and learned on the early Apple IIs. I remember learning Logo/Turtle Graphics and then Applesoft Basic. We didn't have any programming classes in junior high/middle school, so I didn't taking classes again until high school. My dad bought a TI/99-4A at some sort of going out of business sale, so I did do a little bit of basic programming on that, but I don't remember when that was exactly, and it ended up being used more for video games.
