learning resources for kids

Thanks Devin

I suspect anything that isn't game focussed won't be very exciting for him at the moment. Perhaps in a couple of years.

Cheers

I think the examples are simple enough that your son could follow most or all of them. I will say that the example stacks we develop in LCU are more focused on producing instructional applications than games. Overall, the course is designed to give a broad overview of programming concepts and the LiveCode IDE, using small assignments and projects as a means to help students solidify the materials presented in the lessons.
