Programming for Kids

Over the past few months my 2 boys (7 and 9) have been having a good time in computer class. They are writing their first programs or should I say, games!! Ha! Microsoft has released this cute game programming tool for kids called Kodu.

It's great for teaching logic and a great introduction to learning programming interactions.

Give it a try!

Silverlight 4 DVD Shelf

Wanted to share something I did this past summer, almost forgot to post about it. It is a little Silverlight 4 project that displays my superhero collection (well not all of them by any means).

http://superherocollection.talkelley.com/

It uses a simple XML file as a datasource. I'll try to post some sample code after the new year!
