[Trisquel-users] Programs to teach coding similar to TuxType?

[elkingrey]

I learned how to type a long time ago by following commands given to me on  
the screen by a computer program. Surely there must be some programs out  
there that can teach people how to code, starting from complete scratch.

I've tried teaching myself coding in the past. And I got about half way  
through a very large book on c++, but then I got stuck and didn't really know  
where to continue. It was a quality book, but it was definitely geared  
towards somebody studying cs in college or something.

What if I had an 8 year old that wanted to learn coding. What resources would  
I give them? That's what I want to learn. Do we have any programs like that  
in the Trisquel repo?
