Doug Mackay will never forget the first day he felt the pulse of programming.
The 38-year-old St. Clair native was a kindergartner when his father, an administrator at East Central College, brought home an Apple IIe computer with a green and black screen. The computer was a popular Apple product from 1983 until 1993.
âI started messing with it, and I asked him how to program,â Mackay said. âOf course, thatâs an insane question. So my fatherâs response was he brought home two college textbooks of âintroduction to programming.â So kindergarten me cracks open those books, and from the first time I could get the computer to put something (I had programmed) on the screen, I was hooked.â
