This reminds me of how a few years ago whilst working on a university library project I was introduced to programming. Being Mac-based, I decided to use Frontier, to the horror of everyone else who tried (unsuccessfully) to get me onto Perl. So I checked the library for a Perl book and the only one they had was "Teach Yourself Perl in 21 Days" - only available on a seven day loan.
I stuck with Frontier - did the job, moved on to Lasso, then PHP and am now tackling Java. I still don't classify myself as a programmer though - just a lucky amateur.
