1. By reading the source code of tape programs and magazine source listings. The BBC Micro boots to a command prompt and has Basic in ROM, so that was fairly helpful... and from then on for other languages, self-taught by viewing source code. 2. As soon as i could! (aged about 7) 3. My second job, after 3 months of hell in telesales.
