I think children will be better off reading _why's (poignant) guide instead, as it will teach them both the basics of common programming and give them a primer in avant-garde literature.
That or stop treating kids like kids, give them some standard and classic books, bootstrap an environment and let them dive in.
- alxndr 13y agoI would have thought the poignant guide would be better to give to a teenager than a child. Even I found myself caring way more about the story and the author than the code.
- ahuth 13y agoNot sure about everyone else here, but I'm definitely not smart enough to learn anything about programming from _why. _why's (poignant) guide is awesome and entertaining... but I'm not learning programming from it.
