My son has been nagging me to help him write some programs.  I've already
gotten him started with some simple web page Javascript.  But I was
wondering if anyone here has suggestions for teaching an 8-year-old how to
program (especially if he can make games).

I learned programming when I was 11.  It was BASIC on an Apple II+ and then
later on the IBM XT.  But BASIC is pretty dead nowadays, I'd imagine.  I've
also heard about Logo being a good language for kids to learn.  Or maybe
something like Visual Basic.  Any ideas?

Thanks.
