Kids Can Code

I believe that skill to program systems is becoming essential with the passage of time. The pace at which the world is moving makes me think that coding will be as essential as the skill to drive a car in the coming years---no matter what your profession is, you need to be able to drive for a lot of things in life.

When our children will grow old, they will be expected to know how to program. The earlier they start, the better for them. However, you can't just throw a child into learning---it is important not to overdo anything; otherwise, you'll mar the personality and the individuality of the kid.

This blog is an attempt (and a list of discoveries I make) at teaching my 2.5 year old daughter to program. It all started in year 2012---in case, this year becomes important at any future date.
