Lua+Corona to Teach My Kid Programming

[qabulin]

Hey all,

I played around with programming when I was a kid, and now I’m trying to teach my kid.  Lua+Corona is much more friendlier than the C++ I had to start with!

So far, I’m really digging it and I’m able to quickly jump into creating a tutorial for him to get started.  The catch is I’m learning as I go as well, so I’ll probably be hanging around here for a while.

Regards,

~qab~
