Teaching children to type programming vimtutor

How to teach children programming? This question is sitting in my head after reading the post about choosing the appropriate literature for this. After thinking for a while about the books that I had ever read, I did not come to anything good, and decided to go a different way. As far as I was able to recall, the most effective teaching material for me was the vimtutor manual and books on elementary mathematics with exercises. Having concluded that in order to master the material effectively, it is necessary to mix theory with practice, I decided to write a pilot programming course for children from the age of 8 years.


Now you need to choose a suitable language for learning. Since I sat for a long time on the Wap forums (wap-masters forums, as the guests call them), I quickly noticed an important feature - there are a lot of young people there and it is constantly changing. Apparently, young people are attracted to PHP and the creation of sites, and this language is quite simple to learn, even for a child. "Why not?" - I thought.

In just a few hours I wrote the first part of the PHP training course, a pilot issue, so to speak. I tried to do everything as simple as possible, but still the presence of an adult is desirable. The course is designed in the style of vimtutor and includes many small tasks in tandem with theory. The peculiarity of the course is that all the material is written directly into a PHP script, which you can execute and immediately see the results of your work, and of course mistakes.

A PHP interpreter version 5.3+ is required for training.

Do you think it is worth to continue? Is everything clear enough written for a child?
