Professor Smiley's Programming for Kids Links
Last update: October 7, 2009

Of course, I highly recommend my books----they've been used by children as young as 6 to learn to program, and are also used extensively in High Schools---particularly those languages that have free compilers available (such as C++, C# and Java).

In addition, my associate, Jordan H., a young person himself, has identified these very useful links. Thanks Jordan!
