"give them java …"

java is good, but it it operates on the client.

I only program for the web, and use PHP - operates on the server, and i’ve full control.

give them java - easy, useful, and a stepping stone to c++, the .net languages, works on windows/linux/mac, allows GUI programming, web, file access, graphics - all with a focus on the core concepts. otherwise i’d start with a scripting language, maybe javascript, and teach them html along with it. at least, then, the kids who don’t want to program can still write cool web pages, and those who want to program will be introduced to logic, functions, etc.

We do sell Turbo C++ suite. You can order it from our shop.borland.com web site. It is one of our "classic" products - still being sold but not developed. If your son wants our latest C++ product - check out C++Builder 2006, part of our Borland Developer Studio 2006.

Speaking of languages, I am having my son start with Turbo C++ in the Borland computer musuem. Is that being updated anymore, I’d love to have access to Borlands version of compiled basic..
