2005-04-25 Raising Tomorrow's American Programmer.

This seems to be a topic that I am well positioned to write about. I am a father now of two very young girls. I have been a programer myself since I was 12 years old - 20+ years. How I became a programmer was an interesting evolution. I can think of the curriculum of things that today kids should immerse themselves in to make good programmers. What about the argument to draw people to read a book like this? Well, my discourse would talk argue that in the future, every American child will have to have a certain level of computer programming ability. Although kids are different and have different talents and not everyone is a math/logic genious, there are areas in my definition of programming that everyone can contribute to. The most important thing is that all these kids are exposed to a certain culture of activities that fosters down the road these talents.

I'll see if I can write up an outline for this. I want it to be a strong, marketable, convincing argument worth producing.
