Was taught using Apple2 then Macs in Jr High.
I built my own PC in high school (late 90s), upgraded it through college, then switched back to Mac’s when they went Intel.
I can’t muddle through Ruby, Python, Perl, Php C/C++, Objective-C and Swift. But wrote Actionscript, JS, and HTML/CSS for a living for 15 years.
How you start doesn’t matter and Mac’s are still better than Chromebooks. They have Unix shells FFS.
Since macos X. Prior did not...
Yeah. But that’s since 2001. So 24 years of Unix. Pretty sure that covers most recent grads or new hires ;)
I started on BASIC Apple IIe (had the full numpad for playing math munchers faster!)
Then we had a system 6 Performa that later got upgraded to System 7 then even 8 before I was able to save for a PC (Pentium 3 333mhz) during my last year of high school.
