Language choice is important, though. If you’re proficient in JavaScript, I would suggest that, since later on, you can have a for loop updating an absolute position of an IMG dom element (“animation”) for relatively little effort—and this, hopefully, will make her realize that programming is cool. When she starts doing collision-detection for a kitten-based game, you’ll know you’ve succeeded :)
My eldest daughter is eight, and I haven’t taught her to code yet. I’m such a bad parent :-)
We’ll do “Hello World!” tonight after school!
Awesome!
