[TriPython] Python for kids

[Erik Rose]

I got started at about that age. I’m sure every individual is different, but what motivated me was simply to have neat programs (games, demos) running on my computer. I didn’t have a modem, so all I could do was type in listings from magazines. Basically, I learned through mimicry, the same way I learned English! Then, inevitably, I would make transcription errors, which forced me to learn debugging. It was a natural and fun way to get started.
