[wellylug] Beginner programming languages and environments for linux

[Glen Ogilvie]

I recently got a 14 year old started on PHP, which suited him, as he wanted to 
build webstuff.  After a few months, he's on a development team working on an 
open source project. 

You might like to consider gambas too, it's like visual basic.

Cheers
Glen
