Ask HN: Best intro to programming book for 2nd graders?
So, back in the day, my parents bought a laptop, and a purple book about programming qbasic. About a year before that, my dad and I wrote a CHIP-8 program.
What good references have people found for a grade school intro to programming? The kiddo already worked through game builder garage, and is familiar with scratch.
Ideally, it would be available in dead-tree form, and assume an offline programming environment, but those aren’t hard requirements.
It doesn’t really matter if it’s a modern programming environment or not; we have dos, win 3.1, linux, etc.
