I am including engineering as super-set of Programming.
I know there are many self-taught engineers and programmers. However, most often we are taught by some one.
1. An author who wrote your favorite book that you studied from.
2. Your dad, mom, uncle, aunt or elder family friend.
3. Your peer, your friend pushed you to learn.
4. Your school or college teacher.
HN, tell me who taught you engineering. Describe how they influenced you.
