Last night Matt wrote his first C++ program. :-) It was so fun sitting with him while we installed a C++ compiler and IDE on the laptop. Then read the programming book and began writing code. It reminded me of my first days in the basement working on some Extended BASIC code on the old Ti 99-4a.
His "Hello World!!!" program worked flawlessly. But what made me especially proud was his playfulness with the concepts. Without blinking he started modifying the code and trying out new commands that weren't explained in the book (e.g., rand()) just to see what it would do. I'm so proud.
huh?
