A fellow named Dave Briccetti has a site dedicated to young programmers. Part of that site is the Young Programmers Podcast.
Carter recently did a Podcast on PythonCard for the Young Programmer's Podcast. Dave tells us it's one of the most popular items on the podcast!
You can see it here.
Welcome to Computer Programming For Kids (CP4K)
Welcome to the Computer Programming for Kids blog!
We are the co-authors of the book "Hello World! Computer Programming for Kids and Other Beginners", released in March 2009. The book is published by Manning Publications. Manning has a web site for the book, which is where you can download the software and other files related to the book. You can purchase it here, at the Manning web site. If you use this link to purchase the print book or e-book from the Manning web site, you can use the discount code aupromo40 at checkout to get a 40% discount. You can also get it through online retailers like Amazon, as well as in many retail locations such as Chapters in Canada and Barnes & Noble in the U.S.
This blog is mostly about the book (for now), but anything related to computers and programming, particularly for kids and beginners, is fair game. We will post articles with extra material that didn't make it into the book, and reader feedback and suggestions are always welcome.

Way to go Carter and Dad!!! You guys are great. I wish you'd been around when I was a kid. I just turned 20 but I have your book and I follow your blog because it makes it EASY--did you see that, EASY--for me to follow along with Programming!
ReplyDeleteI'm not good yet and right now my PC keeps crashing but hopefully I'll write my first program soon.
P.S. I just realized I had posted this on the wrong blog. Sorry.
