I have an old text book or two from my CS classes in college that are pretty good. They focus on just problem solving and are not language specific. They focus on IF, THEN, ELSE, and basic statements like that. Flowcharts and other basic logic are covered. The books are about 6 or 7 years old but the basics are still the basics. If you want them, they are yours.
-----Original Message----- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 10:34 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Learning Programming I have a 13 year old nephew who is a genius (or at least in my mind ;). He seems to be interested in picking up programming. (He borrowed one of my Mastering CF MX books and is thumbing through it.) I'd _really_ like to help him learn programming, although I'm across the country so I can't sit with him and cover the basics. Does anyone know of a good program/book/whatever that teaches basic CS principles? I don't care about the language - hell even ASP would be fine - but I want something that teaches things like data structures, flow, etc. The language is not important. Any recommendations? Remember I won't be there and unfortunately no one else local to him is a programmer. (Although I'm moving there soon and I may just wait till I can personaly tutor him.) Oh, and it doesn't have to be web specific - although I am going to pick him up a good HTML book. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Hire Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_community Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
