I'd like to start our middle child (age 11) learning some programming. It's been a long time since I've learned a new language, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions, including some texts to get for him (we restrict his online access, so I want his help to come from a book, not online documentation).
Thus far I was thinking about Python (which I haven't used yet either) and this book looked intriguing: http://inventwithpython.com/blog/author/admin/" , which is available as a free download) though of course I'd like to find a more general beginner book specific to the chosen language too.
At this point I'm open to both language and texts (I plan to get him started after the holidays). Thank you!
