Microsoft Teaching Kids to Program


 

Microsoft has launched a website called Coding4Fun, which encourages kids to begin programming, but not just any kind of programming folks, .NET framework programming. Microsoft is releasing a children’s version of Visual Studio, which aims at making programming fun. Could this mean that we’ll start getting Spongebob viruses?

Microsoft is also encouraging kids to code in XML, and strangely enough, they even have a special section that shows you how to use your iTunes playlist to make a webpage that lists your playlist. I wonder if Bill knows?

    Have you seen this before? It’s a number guessing game: http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/mentalmaths/guessthenumber.html. I guessed 53528, and it got it right! Pretty neat.
