We did some text dungeon stuff last year and that almost clicked. But the boy is mercenary. He washes dishes in Vermont in the summer - when I mentioned that money was to be had with programming, he sat up straight. I think he'd never thought about it seriously.
I'm trying to get a sense of "If I were just starting now..." from the community. And yeah, Python does seem to be ranking rather high, doesn't it?
- joeyspn 12y agoNot long ago one of our customers asked us the same for his son (also 15). We pointed him to game programming with Unity3D. Unity has Python (Boo Script), JavaScript, and C# styles of scripting. With little work he'll see big advances, this will keep him interested. After learning the basics, he can jump to webdev or other fields... There's plenty of resources for leaning Unity online, on youtube, udemy or elsewhere... https://www.udemy.com/courses/search/?q=unity3d https://www.udemy.com/courses/search/?q=unity3d PS: In 4 months the kid has already sent us 2 games fairly complex and funny.
