My son is wanting to learn how to code.

[chuckles2666]

My son is currently 10 yrs old and is wanting to learn how to write computer programs. I've seen some webpages online that is supposed to teach them at home, but I don't know which one to choose. I was hoping someone has had some experience with some of them and can give me some advice. All the ones I've looked at are geared toward his age.
Thank You

My computer science instructor had us all do the Maze game. It shows you the code you'd write to make it work once you've solved the puzzle. It's actually pretty fun.

Though Storytelling Alice is no longer supported by the creator it may be a good way to introduce some basic programming skills.

"To enable and encourage users to create animated stories, Storytelling Alice includes:
1. High-level animations that enable users to program social interactions between characters.
2. A story-based tutorial that introduces users to programming through building a story.
3. A gallery of 3D characters and scenery with custom animations designed to spark story ideas."

Another one your son might find interesting is ColdSpells for learning some JAVA.
