With all due respect John (and your resume is indeed impressive as I recall), as a former systems programmer...we ARE geeky dinosaurs and I couldn't disagree more with that advice. I thrived on that stuff (including microcode development for sophisticated networking devices) and those daze are LONG gone. Programming will be easy/peasy for those with talent, and at age 14, imo the goal should be to make it "fun" for the kid.
