I have been looking recently for resources to start teaching my son who is in middle
school some introduction to computer programming.
I am not too sure where to start? Should I look into some intro to computer architecture first,
some Operating Systems concept...
My current thinking is to focus on programs, what is a computer program and how to write one
while introducing the above concepts in parallel. I will probably use Java as I think it is
much easier to learn than C for example (Yes, I know of all these programmers who said how
hard it is to switch to Java and OO concepts!).
Here are some web sites I found and plan to use:

Bon courage Nicolas ;-)
Java seems to me much more valuable than C for beginner.
And switch to OO is not an issue for beginner. It is very hard for our seasonned COBOL programmers, but not for a smart young man !
The difficulty could be to crawl through the language AND the basic API.
