RE: Understanding the difficulties of raising a young perl coder... (ask misty?)

"anyone think this is appropriate?"
misty herself would be the best Monk to answer that question. jjhorner ++ for thinking of it.

Don't know how much help I'd be for writing it, but "My First Perl Book" is an awesome idea! Wish there had been such books 30 years ago 8^P Let me know if you pursue the idea. I'd pitch in somehow.
cheers,

jjhorner, that was really nice of you to offer - especially that I find myself dreaming of helpful neighbors, who would offer to cook for us for a couple of weeks ;) . Interesting idea about the book. We were discussing with my husband the importance of early introduction to science - especially mathematics. My mother was studying in university when I was a toddler, and she used to spend a lot of time with me, explaining what she's doing :) , teaching basic arithmetics etc. It seems to me that made a huge difference in my life, particularly in my thinking ability and interest in studies. How would one start teaching a child programming languages? I was introduced to computers late, and have no idea when and how I'll teach Adriel computing. -- Tired but happy misty	[reply]
