Even though my parents did not teach me how to program (they are both nurses), they did the best next thing. They brought us (my brothers and me) a Commodore C64. With a VGA monitor, a 1541 disk drive, and a host of games and peripherals.
I still remember sitting down and typing little basic programs made up of GOTO and PRINT statements.
Back when children where wasting away on the NES, I was hacking in my C64 (and playing Ultima).
I'm prepearing to teach my 10 year old niece how to code this summer. She got a netbook for her birthday, and I want her to learn how to use it. Planning to teach her how to install ubuntu with it, and then jump to python. Looking forward to it.
