I'm not sure how true that is. There was copious free information on the internet to learn about coding.

I was fortunate to grow up when the internet was full of free learning resources, but there was a time just before that when you really did need physical books to get beyond the basics.

I remember talking to people a couple decades older than me and being confused when they talked about having to buy compilers, too.
