I was in the last year of junior high school in 2000-2001. We had computer lab running Windows 3.1 (each student had their own floppy disks to save their works before logging out).

We learnt HTML basics: displaying paragraphs, images, blinking/colored text, marquee, etc. It was definitely an eye-opening moment for me: computer was not a device only for playing games or typing documents, but something that could run what your instructions are.

Then during high school days, I learnt more serious programming languages: Basic, C, and Pascal.

These days, web frontend is definitely more complicated: HTML5, JS, CSS, etc. Nope, not interested to touch them anymore :)
