The reason I say Perl is because I see so many vacanices for LAMP
developers, so more of an interesting career than 'merely' programming,
leading into some good sys' admin too. more options, more bucks.
Much as I love Perl
Well... BASIC.
It helped me learn the programming principles learning QBASIC.
My second language was probably Javascript...

Hi Bob,
What's really depressing is the implication that every student has an
HDMI equipped TV to use it with.
The RasPi does have composite video output too. :-) HDMI TVs seem to
start at £67 at Argos for 16 1366 x 768.
Cheers, Ralph.

Hi Peter,
I believe that there is an editor from which you can run your python

I think there's a few. IDLE, that comes with Python and is introduced

Hi Clive,
My 12 year old grandson has asked 'Which is the best Programming

Please remember he is 12 years old and has just started senior school
here in Switzerland.
I'd suggest Python. Perhaps others know of good resources aimed at his
experience
*Leo Laporte*, (The Tech Guy) always recommends a programming language that
will not take you very far, but lays VERY good foundations for good habits
of programming that make moving on to more complicated languages easier.
Does anyone know what this is. I keep saying every time he mentions it...
I think Leo's recommendation is Python.
In any event, I would also recommend it. It's platform-agnostic, it's
used by big companies (Google, anyone?), it can be run in a simple,
interpreter-like way (single line Basic, anyone?), it supports
object-oriented programming, there's lots of
