Earlier this year I ran a programming workshop for a group of gifted 9-12 year olds.
I used BASIC-256(formerly KidBASIC), which was developed specifically to address this problem.
I found it easy to use and teach, and a good introduction for the kids, I would recommend it for an introductory language.
Sony BMG Sued For Using Pirated Software 266
An anonymous reader sends us to ZeroPaid, which seems to be the only site in English to have picked up a story out of France involving Sony and piracy. Except this time the shoe is on the other foot. The small software company PointDev learned that Sony BMG was using a pirated license for one of its system administration tools. PointDev got bailiffs to raid a Sony property and they found pirated software on four servers. The source article (link is to a Google translation of French original) quotes PointDev's spokesman claiming that the BSA believes 47% of software used in corporations to be illegal — whether he is referring to Sony in particular is not clear in the translation.
