I am looking for some opinions on how to best support the development of coding skills in a child who is interested. I'm not sure if this is the correct forum or should it be Luv-talk?
This is the correct forum.
Could someone please offer a view as to where is best as a starting point, or is there perhaps a better route to follow? Does he start with web languages and then progress to Ruby or Python?
Start with a language that is suitable for a task that he wants to do. If he wants to create web sites then PHP could be good. If he wants to script things then bash or Perl. If he wants to control devices then maybe the Arduino version of C would be best. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
