Speaking of kids, I set the older boy up with Hackety Hack. Why not - I'm working my way through a 'grown up' Ruby tutorial at the same time.
- What's that?
You said you wanted to learn HTML - try this.
- Ok.
Ten minutes later he's further ahead than I am and he's a) enjoying himself* and b) he's learning. Oh and c) he may have found out that computers do more than just toss content at you - you can create with them.
Hacking trumps playing Neopets any day.
*How do I know? I hear clicking followed by sotto voice 'cool's and 'wow's.
