Hi Dylan,
Sorry for the distraction … I agree with you that it's important not to let
groups such as this get off track too much as it de-values the community and
leads to people un-subscribing.
I thought my extension of the topic was a reasonable extrapolation of what had
already been discuss
IMO this isn't a general tech or programming group but a group for
supporting entrepreneurs. Even though most of the startups here are
web or programming related, not all of them are and most are here for
advice on business not parenting.
Great question however for a group like Slug coders
Not if you want to hire your children as developers in a few years :)
You can think of it as a part of a wider HR plan.

Hi
I think this is a HUGE topic for the group . We have a generation of
digital natives that are exploring the web!
We are the "old ones" and have influence over what they do - so what should
we teach them ?
- What do they need to know to get into web programming ?

It may be a bit off topic for this list, but one thing to remember in
general is that:
Anything put on the Internet is there *forever*.
I think that applies to us business/programmer types as much as children.

Hi All,
Can I broaden this question out a little? (As I have children just entering the
teenage years)
I'd be interested in your thoughts on how to develop technically savvy children
… programming yes, and great pointers thus far, but more broadly in the digital
age, what to introduce them to
I've head people say very good things about the google python course
http://code.google.com/edu/languages/google-python-class/
but it does advertise it as suitable for those with a little
programming experience.
There are a bunch of links that come up for python for kids in google (http://ww
Work for me still.
My son (now 14) got into programming by learning about how to write
games in python using pyglet and rabbyt.
I'd say: find out what the best tool would be for him to use to
achieve the task that he has set himself and find a good tutorial for
him to get started in that directio

My seven year old enjoys playing on Hackety Hack.
Me: Rightio mate, no more games
Him: Can I do Hackety hack?
Me: ... go on then.
Worked on my mum back in the 80s, seems that it's a timeless argument.
Have a look at http://hackety-hack.com/
It started, I seem to recall reading somewhere, as a project to be used in
schools to teach programming, trying to be non technical.
You may have to help him set things up on a machine.

G'day fellow SBs,
my 10 y/o son has expressed interest in learning programming (he want to
build the next Minecraft and is inspired by a number of developers who
started young). In the meantime I told him that he needs to learn the basics
and to make up his mind what to do next.

Hi PriyRao,
I recently set up ZenDesk for the members only area and do recommend
it.
Key points:
- this is a really low risk decision.They all have low monthly fees &
easy exits. Just pick one and see how it goes.
- Zendesk's Feedback Tab (appears everywhere) is a no brainer to set

Hi cjs,
Forcing validation of addresses introduces friction for your users.
Unnecessary friction will result in lost sales.
It's certainly a waste of your resources to develop this before the
problem of fake/phantom addresses even exists for you. If it's an
assumption, you should have a really hi
