Question
I have a 10 year old nephew who enjoys computers and seems be interested in the how they work.
I'm a programmer and would like to encourage him to try out programming but getting a 10 year old to sit down and do a for-loop in BASIC is probably going to be kinda boring to him.
Are there are software programs or web sites that fundamentally are trying to teach programming to kids but do it in a very fun way. I'm looking for something that he can just dive into without much instruction, as I don't see him very often.
Explanation / Answer
Try Scratch. Don't start from the first with C++, BASIC. It's not very easy to learn especially for a kid.
With Scratch, you can program your own interactive stories, games, and animations
