Beginning programming for a teenager

[Scottland]

Hi,

Does anyone know of any online resources aimed at teenagers wanting to start simple programming - no specific requirements on language but would be better something cross platform as their main computer is a mac.

Its for my other halfs little brother who wants to study programming (or similar) at college in the autumn but hasn't had any exposure so is very green to it. I'd like to give him something to try to see if he likes it.


Thanks

Thanks for that, looks pretty good. It seems to be based on practical exercises, but does anything cover something of an overview of what programming is as a sort of introduction?

Ok thanks, I'll sign up myself and have a flick through it.
