I love programming as a hobby as much as a professional activity, and I remember I got into it when I was quite young. My first contact was with the ugly macro language of Lotus 1-2-3: there were nerds, and then there was silly me. Anyway, now I’ve got sons that are 5 and 3 years old, and I really want to share my passion for programming as soon as they can make some sense of the keyboard, and maybe before if that can happen. I’ll check out the tools that this page links to and I’ll report on those that I feel are most compelling (for me or for the kids?).
