Someone gave this link: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_examples.asp
I just went through the first few sections and I think it is great. I have been making web sites for nearly 10 years and it was a good review for me. My 13 y/o is starting to work with it today. Any links for a similar site for python? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Roche" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <profox@leafe.com> Sent: Monday, July 09, 2007 9:01 AM Subject: Re: [NF] Suggestions for high school kid wanting to get intoprogramming On 7/8/07, MB Software Solutions <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My nephew saw a project I'm working on (in VFP9 of course!) and really > got excited about what I do.

You don't necessarily need or want to start someone off by loading them down with heavy computer science theory, or a whole bunch of complex and intimidating tools. It's boring. While it's intended for much younger kids, StarLogo [1] can be a great way to establish some of the basic ideas of logic, logic flow, analysis and architecture. After that, a simple, interactive language that can be used from the command-line is the way a lot of us learned, and has it's advantages. PRINT "Hello, World!" gives immediate feedback, the satisfaction of getting the machine to work. Python, Pascal and FoxPro all will do a bit of this.
