Hi!
I have looked around for som language to use to learn my 9
year son
programming.
There is a KPL - Kids Programming Language but my son
diden't grasp the
OO, GUI and everyting around this, maby becurse English is
not his spoken
language, and for a beginner i think the inviroment was to
complex.
So my plan is to use Python, has anyone try to learn kids
this way, and
could
giv som ide how-to.
I witch way to introduce every part of the language,,,
best regards
Anders

HI-
I think Python is a great choice.
You may want to have a look, as a first step, at rur-ple. Then, as a next step (although it might be a bit steep), you may want to have a look at
livewires. This will provide a good introduction to pygame.

Hi,
Playing with Guido Van Robot http://gvr.sf.net is another good option to teach
programming to young ones. Rurple is just another graphic representation of
the gvr.

Not quite. GvR uses a Python-like notation and has no OOP support. Rur-ple uses standard Python and has OOP support.

Thanks for clarifying Andre.
Infact, myself and my young friends started with GVR, after
completing it. I analyzed rur-ple.
On the surface, I found it similar (if not the same). We
were more interested with programming than python.
For the purpose of introduction to programming to young ppl,
does GVR or Rurple really make a difference?
We are trying to play with squeak now, but little progress
so far.
You might like to know about my friend Avi, we tried gvr and
trying squeak and trying to understand freeciv:

Another interesting way to learn to program the OO way is a
from
Carnegie Mellon University at http://alice.org/. It is a
graphical
approach. I just stumbled upon this software last week.
