Rather than answer with all of our personal agendas, perhaps we should ask questions, instead. How old is your nephew? Which grade is he in? What are his other interests? Is he on the math team and AV team? What's your impression of his nerd quotient? Kids today are using computers from birth, so the fact that he's in high school before he indicates an interest in computers is an interesting data point. What's his math and music proficiency? What was it about the application that got him excited? Was it the screen design? Perhaps he's more of a UI designer than a programmer - a very valuable and very different profession. > I'm > looking for recommendations on where he might go to get a good > fundamental basis for programming (via websites or books). There are a huge number of resources available, most for free. I'd suggest you can help him focus in on what he wants to learn and find a good tool to start him with, just as you help clients to narrow their requirements. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
