Basic Programming

One caller today, John, was looking for a basic programming application to teach his grand daughter computer programming. We found this site that has a free basic program available for download.

Myron, from Ontario, wrote in and suggested the following:

The father may wish to check out Python as a modern alternative. It has a simple syntax and encourages good programming habits. One can get into Object Oriented Programming as well as traditional Procedural programming styles. It has been ported to just about every operating system there is!
