I strongly recommend that the child starts with no less then assembly programming. There is no tool as happy to go where the playful mind of a child would like to go, than an assembler. Do not polute a childs mind with the abominations of C, C++ and or C# or absurdities like Java. The one i am using, and that I recommend is RosAsm. < http://betov.free.fr/RosAsm.html > If he goes this route, he will be teaching you guys a thing or two, in less then a few months. In a few years, he will be laughing his head of at you gays, woundering what went wrong with you. :))
