What Language for a kid

[Kenny Lussier]

Hi All,

My daughter has expressed an interest in learning to code. It's a
non-specific, very general interest. She doesn't have a specific area of
interest that she wants to learn (UI, game development, HPC, etc.), she
just want to learn how to code.

What do people think is the best language for a 12yr old to learn? What is
most flexible to use for different purposes? What tools are out there to
teach a kid to code? Code Academy and the like seem to be a little dry and
never yielded wonderful results for most of the adults I know, so other
ideas would be welcome.

Thanks,
Kenny
