Where should an 11-12 year old Start?

I was doing web design and basic Perl at 12. I started on Dreamcast at 13. You can totally do it. Start out at the library with a book on something like BlitzPlus.

Heh, he already started, I threw him into C++, takes him a bit longer to grasp things than it did for me, but it's working.

Lucky kid, I wish I started at that age. I would be sooo much farther along then I am right now... *Wishes for a time machine*

Dude when you start doesn't actually play a major part in skill, yes when you're younger your brain is a proverbial sponge but it's more to do with dedication than anything. I started way later than Falco(around 14-15) and I got good fast.
Your skill as a programmer will grow exponentially once you get that click in your head that makes everything make sense(it does exist) and here is a hint; All programming no matter how complex boils down to true and false.

M_D_K speaks truth; i started out with Flash when I was 8 and I'm shit.
