My son has used this book, and I can thoroughly recommend it. It leads the kid through programming by getting them to write various games in python - increasing in complexity throughout. When I was kid learning to program, writing games is what I first wanted to do. The book gets the tone just right, and I think my son has enjoyed working with it.
Goodbye Anne. RIP.
SNAP! Well almost snap. I don't like coffee (or tea), or smoking. I like beer, but turned teetotal 2.5 years ago for health reasons. Also don't do drugs (or religion, so being a mormon is definitely off).
Now, I'll just sit here by myself, reading slashdot and drinking my water. I'm enjoying myself dammit!!
