Hi all,
My 8 year old is asking if he can learn how to program.
I’d like to support this, and it seems like it’s not a transient interest as he’s been all over scratch, and using things like minecraft commands for the last year. I have an old (pre 2017) MacBook Air I can set up for this. How do I / what would you advise I set up for him, to a) keep him safe online (he’s 8!) and b) give him the tools he needs in a structured way.
a linux web server on an old PC https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/install-lamp-stack-ubuntu-20-04-server-desktop , a tutorial https://www.w3schools.com/ , and a text editor https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ is all you need to get started.
