Beginner tutorials for my 10yo nephew
-
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone out there knew of good VB.NET beginner tutorials suitable for my 10yo nephew. He is a bit of a geek, but being only 10 I think a lot of the books and tutorials aimed at adults could be beyond his grasp. If you have any experience with tutorials or books for the younger people out there, please let me know. Thanks.

I don't know of anything specific for children, but the Head First series of books could have what you are looking for. It contains lots of fun ways of learning as well as crosswords and other puzzles at the end of the chapters as a way of retaining the information.

One book that I used/manipulated when I was first learning programming was: VB.NET Hacks & Pranks. The book is not as bad as it sounds, most of the examples are fun and easy to learn.

Thanks for the answers. I was thinking about the Dummies book, but was unsure how good it was. I will look for the Head First and Hacks & Pranks books. Unfortunately we have a limited range of titles available here in my area of Australia. I end up getting most of my books from Amazon, but I can't flip through the books there, so I'll if these are available locally first. Thanks again. Hopefully we'll have a new VB programmer in our midst soon :laugh:
