[Edu-sig] Re: editor for children

[Darren Payne]

May I suggest gvim (vim) as an editor. I have been
using it for about 3 years with mainly yr10 - 12
students. Hoiwever, I have also shown it to 2 groups
of very bright ten year olds who picked it up really
easily. I like it because it is a dedicated editor for
programmers, allows you to select the syntax
highlighting for the language you are using and you
can compile nad run your code from within gvim if you
wish. Oh ... and it is open source too, runs on both
windows and linux (probly mac too).
regards
