Maybe in some parts of the world (including mine). But we haven’t have a lot of computers either. But 25 years ago, there was a lot of textbooks and computers editors like O’Reilly already active. I had the C programming language book (not 25 years ago, but the book is older than that) and you could learn a lot with that one book and codeblocks. Same thing with “The Go Programming Language”, “Learning Perl”, and “Programming Clojure”. You only need one book to get very decent.
