  1. David Brin says we missed his point on David Brin Laments Absence of Programming For Kids · · Score: 1

    Check out his response to all this fuss: http://theschwartz.wordpress.com/2006/09/26/david- brin-proves-blogs-work/

  2. Check out Phrogram on Teaching Primary School Students Programming? · · Score: 1

    http://www.phrogram.com./ It's actually the second version of Kid's Programming Language, will release next month, and is available as a release candidate download now. It's supposed to be as easy to use as KPL, but it adds some new stuff: compiling to EXEs, class-based programming, 3D programming with DirectX models, file I/O, and interactive debugging.

  3. Kid's Programming Language on Exposing Children to Technology? · · Score: 1

    How does 35 kid-simple lines of code sound, to fly your 3D starfighter model through an interstellar skyscape? :D How does freeware, community-translated educational software already available in 16 languages sound? Watch for it at SIGGRAPH 2006, and all over the Web. The URL is, of course, http://www.kidsprogramminglanguage.com/.

  4. OK, it's a dupe - but it let me tell you about KPL on Games Teaching the Basics of Programming · · Score: 1

    KPL == Kid's Programming Language, which makes a game out of programming games, and then playing them. It's what it sounds like, it's free, and it's fun. It's been 20 since anyone in software thought about beginners. Bout damn time, wouldn't you say?http://www.kidsprogramminglanguage.com/

  5. Kid's Programming Language on Berners-Lee Says Internet Will Make Kids Creative · · Score: 1

    We agree with Tim. In fact, we invented KPL to help kids get there. http://www.ms-inc.net/kpl.aspx/
