A few months ago I want to a Showcase of how Warwick Uni students were volunteering to take technology into primary schools and they had us doing fun stuff like putting our hand over a light sensor which made the sun go down on a picture on screen - all programmed in 'Scratch' http://scratch.mit.edu/ I then found out that my son (12) uses that program at school as he was sent some programming homework. It's free as far as I know and has loads of resources for self-study. The basic principles are translated into graphic blocks (that you 'plug' in and out by drag and drop) so it looks good and simple but I think it's potentially very powerful. There is also 'LiveCode' http://livecode.com/ (successors to Hypercard?) which I've also seen demonstrated - another notch up of sophistication - you can make apps with it... Hope this helps, Tilly
