Question

For a complete beginner of computer programming, what is the best language to start with?

Answer 1

This is a good question. Thanks for asking. My little son, 10 is taking Scratch lessons. He seems to get it. He would love tolearn Python, and I thought I could take this course and teach him.

Answer 2

Basically any one that you're interested in and that you can find decent materials for. The most important thing is not to get discouraged -- if one language doesn't click, try finding a different one.

This course is done in Python, which is as good a starting language as any.
