This is a great suggestion because this is how I first became involved in programming. We had these books with code for BASIC in school, and I typed the code.

This is a great suggestion because this is how I first became involved in programming. We had these books with code for BASIC in school, and I typed the code. After drawing random circles and stuff, I kept modifying the code to make it do different things. From that point, I started writing little games, and I would work on those while we had our computer lab time. (Most of the kids would simply play games during that time.) I would work on code within notebooks at home and was anxious to bring it to school so I can type in my code and see the results.
