I took courses in FORTRAN and ALGOL at the university in the beginning of the seventies (sic!). In the middle of the nineties I was required to do a lot of Bourne shell scripting at work, and picked it up from the excellent book "Unix Power Tools". Around 2000 I got interested in Perl; started with "Learning Perl", and continued with "Programming Perl" and "Perl Cookbook". Nowadays I mostly use Perl, and occasionally Bourne shell scripts.
