Open source programming languages for kids
Posted by: Anonymous [ip: 66.223.168.124] on December 20, 2008 10:27 AMWhen I was 8, my dad taught me the basics of Java, but I was too young to really be able to do much with it (I don't really care for Java anyway)
At 13, teaching myself, I fiddled with Python, Shell, and Pascal.
At 14, C and Perl.
I would recommend something like Python. Then, when you get into larger programs, try writing a C program.
I would also do Shell, and Perl (Pascal is pretty much dead -- although I like it a lot)
I use Perl and Python the most, and C for something really serious and heavy.
And Shell constantly.
