Thanks. For bonus points, I'm a single dad raising a little girl with no mom in the picture. She likes science and math, and has a few ideas for a website or two :P
I'm a single father of an 11yo boy. He started saying things like "I want to make...." when he was 8ish and then I showed him a some html and got him his own domain to play with and call his own. But when I showed him view-source, it really took off. He went to some site that archived sites from 10 years ago of some games/toys/shows that he likes and viewsourced them all and started adding features to his site (actually plural now). After playing with that for awhile, he wanted to make "forums" and etc., and so needed some php. First with text files, then mysql. It has been fun watching him.
That's really great. My daughter is more into art right now. I'm already working hard to dissuade her from an art degree.
Awesome. My daughter is 7 and also loves math - I can't wait to get her coding!
I'm taking it slow with her so I don't totally put her off it. She's starting to ask what I'm doing while I'm at my computer, and she was shocked that I actually made a website that she could access and use from a different computer. "You made this? Wow!"
