A Suggestion.
Change your message(s) icons to Answer because you have posted answer (not a question), It will give you Authority points instead of Enquirer points.
|
|

|

unfortunately changing the message type does not alter the rep points, they are determined at the initial posting.
Maybe, I don't know, things get corrected at a recalc, however I have strong doubts.

Yes, I have seen that here before.

Then I need to requalify a few thousand of my earliest posts, from general to answer.

I have a small nephew that wants to learn coding (he is 9 years old).
Where can I direct him for simple coding, web design, applications etc...?
I hope the intelligentsia/gestalt can help me point him to a site that is useful.

I used Alice in college and it was so buggy it made me
Had that been my first programming language, I can only imagine how frustrated I would have been using it. Though, it has been about 5 years since then, so hopefully they've fixed that stuff.

Wouldn't this have been best asked in the Lounge? It's not really about free tools.

You might think that, but he would be down voted for asking a programming question.

I vaguely recall a language called LOGO which had something to do with turtles drawing shapes on the screen. I think it was intended to be child-friendly, give them immediate visual feedback while not being too complicated to learn, that kind of thing.

Yes! That may have been the first "programming language" I learned. Though it may have been on a Mac, so I'm not sure if a PC implementation exists (and then still not sure if it would work on a modern OS).

The first programming language I learned was FORTRAN. You wrote it out on a piece of paper and gave it to a bunch of women sitting in a room, who came back to you the following day with a stack of different coloured punch cards ("Don't drop them again like you did last time, dearie, ha ha") which you handed over to a very important man called an Operator ("No you can't come into the computer room, only fully trained people are allowed to touch The Computer, it's very expensive you know") who loaded them for you. A few hours later you were handed a pile of paper covered with arcane symbols and gibberish and you would then spend the next few days trying to figure out why your program didn't work so that you could start all over again.
Kids today just don't know how to have fun.

Get started withGame Maker. There is a free version and tutorials.

I taught myself coding when I was 14. Was volunteering in my public library for the summer and saw a magazine have an ad for one of those community college schools (vo-tech) that say "Learn computer programming and get a high paying job! Make your own Windows Applications" (back then, in 1994, Windows Applications were all the rage, because Windows 3.0 and 3.1 were all the shizz and we were just about to have Win95 sprung on us).
So I just saw Visual C++ 1.0 in a box on the shelf of the local CompUSA and begged my parents and they bought it for me (Visual C++ 1.0 cost something like $79 back then, if I remember)
So I just took the manuals (hard copy print books!) to bed with me and in six months, bam!
I had finished the Scribble tutorial. Ahhh, those were the days...I mean, can you imagine! Printed manuals heee heee

Ah, 14 floppy disks and the Que book (which was the only other reference) had samples that didn't work. Those were the days.

Ever needed to share your screen with a colleague, a customer? or see your client's machine?
There are plenty of offers around and I recently found this web based offer:

It's free and really good.

Though they might lack some advance features of Professional edition, they are good enough for developers just starting out[^].
