My first experience with programming was with Mr Coffee, BigTrek, Light-Brite and Fidelity Chess Challenger that had a Z80 CPU.

Chess Challenger helped tutor me in relational calculus early on; Chess and SQL both are forms of RC.

Lite-brite helped with designing and understanding multicolor pixel graphics.

BigTrek was a visual programming paradigm like Logo where you could run programs right away after keying them in and run a trace literally and debug in real time.

Mr Coffee was like the DartMouth BASIC experiment on a larger and simpler scale more people could participate in.

Next I used a Teletype and then a 4K TRS-80. Programming concepts were more familiar because of the progression from these programmable machines.
