My stepson wants to get into programming. he plays a lot of warcraft.
I want him to get hooked on programming and spend less time gaming.
I have wanted to get back into it as well so I though I would develops some routines and show them to him and lead him into it. sort of the blind leading the blind.
But I have some programming background and I think Python looks like a good place for us to start.
