Ask HN: Resources for kids/teens to learn programming
My friend is seeking online courses or resources for his 12-year-old child to learn programming skills.
- BD103 3y agoI learned programming through a mixture of Scratch and code.org. Once I "graduated" from those websites, I learned my first professional programming language using W3Schools. I wouldn't recommend signing up for W3Schools, but the free content is a good enough primer for beginners. (Some of the examples are not idiomatic, though.) I hope that helps :)

- ranc1d 3y agoAl Sweigarts books also a good option too and available online for free https://inventwithscratch.com/ https://inventwithscratch.com/ https://inventwithpython.com/invent4thed/ https://inventwithpython.com/invent4thed/
