Teaching children Programming language

Depends on the age. Scripting languages for games they are interested can be really helpful.

It is very important that this is something THEY are interested in.
 
I remember typing lines of code out of BASIC books into the computer.

10 PRINT "Hello World"
20 GOTO 10

🙂

I wouldn't even know where to start teaching my kid programming now. lol
 
Define "early age."

I would teach them a consistent method on how to solve a problem first. Get that consistent process down good then you can move on to how to solve a problem using logic/algebra. Then you can teach them how to solve a problem using a scripting/programming language.

^ infinite loop error

My first bits of code I can remember was more like
1 PRINT "Press 1: Notepad\t\r"
2 PRINT "Press 2: Wing Commander\t\r"
3 INPUT "Choose which application to load\t\r", c$

Then after I got about 25 lines of code, I realize how much a pain it was to insert code in between the lines.

Infinite loop.. I know. I did it on purpose. 🙂
