You know, that's exactly how I learned to program.

I started up QBasic knowing nothing other than that it seemed like a thing for programming computers and programming seemed like a cool thing to do.

I typed in random words, and eventually I typed "screen". When I pushed enter, QBasic capitalized it, so it seemed important. I hit F1 and read the help. It made no sense, but the example ran and had other capitalized words so I could repeat the process.

Eventually I started making really terrible text-based Final Fantasy knock-offs.
