I learned programming when I was 11. It was BASIC on an Apple II+ and then

also heard about Logo being a good language for kids to learn. Or maybe
something like Visual Basic. Any ideas?

I sure miss the days of the magazines printing out code for you to type into your computer to get a simple game or whatnot. Spent many a day wishing I knew how to type as an 8 year old typing into my Atari 800 and then my friends Apple IIe that way.

REALBasic or Visual Basic are alive and well. Not a bad language to start with and experiment with.
