- Books. Usually just "book" given a particular language. There wasn't a breadth of material available, so you had to rely on your critical thinking and reasoning skills much more.

- Paper programming magazines that came out monthly. These normally had articles that centered around a program you would type in manually from the pages of the magazine.

- In-person user group meetups. These were pretty entertaining and full of brilliant basement dwellers with entertaining and non-normal personalities.

- BBSes (social networking)
