Re:"computer programming" is not "logic" (Score 1)

No offense man, but really, I would be more inclined to get kids started with something like Python (as suggested somewhere above). The reason being that, in some jobs I've been, I've seen unlucky co workers inheriting VBA code base abominations which were born inside Excel. Code base abominations of course, can manifest in every language, but I've seen them more frequently in the VBA + Excel combination. My point is that they should also learn that with great power comes... you know :P... great responsibility. Cheers.
