There are so many resources for adults to learn to code online, I thought we needed one for the younger kids...<p>I started to code when I was 7 on my dad's Commodore 64 and would have killed for a resource aimed at someone my age...<p>Any help would be appreciated!

You really want to teach kids PHP? There are at least twenty better choices for teaching computer science basics and computer familiarization. PHP is not an appropriate teaching tool, any more than BASIC is.<p>I expect that, after exposure to PHP, young programmers will be placed in the position that led to this famous quote:<p>"It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: As potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration." -- Edsger W. Dijkstra
