Hi Diego, Hi Glenn
He will turn 10 soon. He has a severe disability but is quite good with
computers and could type the whole alphabet, compensating for
uppercase/lowercase at 18 months of age.
I thought I could start with some custom commands to launch
videos/webpages he like. I was thinking we could explore the math
command to tinker with math and I could introduce him to some custom
commands that take an argument or two.
Scratch might work, I considered this in the past and then forgot about
it. The thing is with fish I could write commands that would better suit
his interests.
I have been writing an assisted speech device for him and his sister for
sometime. I have failed many times but right now i am looking at a
Javascript/HTML5 to emit words on clicks and a text user interface for a
more complicated application to emit full sentences with proper grammar.
Thanks-Patrick

You don't say how old your son is, but I'd go for the tutorials at
code.org or Scratch (scratch.mit.edu), which are far more structured,
visual and geared for kids. My 7- and 9-year olds love them.

Hi !
I thinking of introducing programming to my son. I am reading
javascript
for kids but it seems to me that many of these concepts would be
easier
in fish and a shell might be an even easier place to tinker than a
browser/text editor.
I am looking for the lowest barrier to entry.
What do you think?
