My earliest exposure to the world of programming came accidentally while I was toying with what I assumed was a desktop publishing package like Pagemaker. I knew a little about programming which was limited to drawing Mandelbrot sets in GWBASIC or copying files in DOS.Before I could realize that what I was working on was not a graphic management tool but a programming platform, I had already compiled at least 1 small program by just dropping components on form. When I look back in time now, I am amazed at what even the first version of Delphi allowed the programmer to do without writing tedious lines of code and in a time when even Microsoft Visual Basic was an infant.
