Just thought I would introduce myself. My son, Carter Sande, and myself (Warren Sande) wrote "Hello World! Computer Programming for Kids and Other Beginners", which uses Python to introduce programming. It was published by Manning Publications in March of 2009. The book's page on the publisher's web site is here: http://www.manning.com/sande/ We have a blog, here: http://cp4k.blogspot.com/ Among other things, you can see Carter and I interviewed on CTV Ottawa. That was the same day we held our book Launch party on June 24, 2009. This summer, we moved from Ottawa Canada, to Pleasanton, California.

Hi, Warren, Welcome to the list! I enjoyed reading your book earlier this summer, and have recommended it to a couple of friends with kids who are interested in learning about programming.
