When i said C++ and java i meant for 11th grade, at 16 years old i
hardly consider them "children". Since by 12th grade they already start
working on there job skills.
VB is an easy language that kids can learn. Its not much harder than
BASIC which we all did as kids. Of course you won't have them doing ADO
database programming or something, but it could be nice to ex: make a
calculator or something.
