<div dir="ltr">Python is a great first language, and there is no shortage of beginning Python books aimed at young beginners. I've never read a juvenalia programming book, except maybe pre-Visual Basic BASIC with the line numbers and goto-s for me, but at 14 she may be a bit old for them and you might be OK with just a general audience "learn programming with Python" book. <div><br></div><div>Why were you interested in BASH scripting? BASH, or any shell script is not something I'd intentionally pick for someone's first intro to CS and programming. Also, shell scripting languages tend to enforce no software architecture best practices and are full of footguns.I can see BASH being useful if you wanted her to maximize her responsibility for administering her own Linux personal machine ASAP. There are beginner BASH scripting books, but I doubt there are any targeted to kids specifically. </div><div><br></div><div>Trent</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Dec 22, 2022 at 6:46 AM Michael via PLUG-discuss <<a href="mailto:plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org">plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">bad typo... my daughter is 14.... not 24 so I need something for kids. sorry about the typo</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Dec 21, 2022 at 10:15 PM greg zegan via PLUG-discuss <<a href="mailto:plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org" target="_blank">plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div></div>
