In 1969 IBM thought teaching hardware guys some software was a good idea. I got started with 360 assembler just as a hobby in the course. IBM abandoned the idea but I stayed interested in asembler. dBase scripts, PC Basic and PC assembler are not all that different. It is amazing how blaoated the software has become when you can do, basically everything we are doing here tonight in about 30k of code but we are all lugging around somewhere between 200meg and a gig of bloatware to do the same thing.
