Yep. 14. Not great at it, but good enough to probably get a resolve from cs class.

Answer 14

Sure u can

Answer 15

Ask your child what type of programs she wants to write first: whether it will be sites or mobile apps or games. Then according to answer provide her with corresponding programing language and resources.

Answer 16

If she's really interested, yes. I'm currently learning Java and I'm 14.
I'd suggest her starting with Python, I started learning it when I was 12.

Answer 17

Age doesn’t matter...just needed your Passion that's it...

Answer 18

Whatever the programming language that she learn doesn't matter if the purpose is to learn to program because all programming language share a same concept. Java is a good start because it's force her to write an application in detail about everything

Answer 19

Python or
Skretch for creating mini games.
Your child first time will be learning beses of programming with Skratch

Answer 20

I learned Java when I was 14, but I already had some experience with Python. I think it would be possible to start out with Java, but it would probably be helpful if she could learn something a bit simpler like Python or Javascript first to get used to some of the concepts with the easier syntax of those languages.
