Thanks to Scott Hanselman for this post on programming tips from Microsoft for the beginning programmer.  Go ahead take a look.  You might like programming.   You should also download one of the Visual Studio Express Editions and get started writing your own “Hello World” app.  If your a programmer and want to get your kids interested there are other alternatives like Phrogram.  Are there others?  Add your comment with ones that you know of.

Let’s excite the next generation of programmers!

Enjoy!
