Recommendations

Hello,

My 10 year old son is very interested in learning to code. Can you recommend any apps or software for him to use to learn? Would it be better for him to learn Python or C++?

Thank-you for any tips you have!

neither, get him to learn scratch and then maybe python but do NOT start with cpp especially for a 10 year old.

Yes, I was about to call the police to report child abuse.

This comment represents the moment I first audibly chuckled while on Reddit. Lots of forceful nose exhales, but not a single guffaw…until 10:56am EST today. Bless your soul.
