Yeah - actually programming is what I do for a living, in a
combination of perl, java, C++ and anything else they care
to throw in my direction. I actually found the visual lego
programming surprisingly entertaining and powerful and it
was a challenge to code machines in as few blocks as
possible, it got me thinking at least. I really thought it
would be a great introduction to programming for children.
I have nqc and brixx and others and I'm some way towards
a user-mode library for using the USB tower under linux too
so I can use the java clones there.
