Default How To Teach a 12-Year-Old To Program?

thelordx writes "I've got a much younger brother who I'd like to teach how to program. When I was younger, you'd often start off with something like BASIC or Apple BASIC, maybe move on to Pascal, and eventually get to C and Java. Is something like Pascal still a dominant teaching language? I'd love to get low-level with him, and I firmly believe that C is the best language to eventually learn, but I'm not sure how to get him there. Can anyone recommend a language I can start to teach him that is simple enough to learn quickly, but powerful enough to do interesting things and lead him down a path towards C/C++?"pa href="http://ask.slashdot.org/story/09/12/27/1857225/How-To-Teach-a-12-Year-Old-To-Program?from=rss"img src="http://developers.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=09/12/27/1857225"/a/ppa href="http://ask.slashdot.org/story/09/12/27/1857225/How-To-Teach-a-12-Year-Old-To-Program?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/NTHeMfH96MXLBNLd8cR63RlUw84/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/NTHeMfH96MXLBNLd8cR63RlUw84/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/NTHeMfH96MXLBNLd8cR63RlUw84/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/NTHeMfH96MXLBNLd8cR63RlUw84/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotDevelopers/~4/31LhoPap9mw" height="1" width="1"/
