Microsoft to kids: Programming is fun

Tomorrow's future programmers are today's video game-crazy adolescents and family-computer-hogging teens. Microsoft knows that these kids are out there, tinkering with their computers for fun and eventually learning how to write code themselves. The company has renewed its efforts to make Windows programming easy and fun, hoping to lure computer hobbyists and child programmers, according to Computerworld. Through its website, Coding4Fun, Microsoft aims to make development user-friendly and interactive, focusing a lot on games and issues of interest to newbie programmers.Microsoft isn't the only one out there trying to make programming fun for young people.

A software company called Morrison Schwartz, Inc. developed the Kid's Programming Language to make it easy to create their own games.
