    Thomas, Manhattan Beach, CA - Starting a tech company

    Thomas is 10 years old and he wants to start a software company with
    his friends! He programs in C++, Java, and Python?! Wow. Leo says he
    wants Thomas to learn these programs right, not just noodling with
    them and learning bad habits. So Leo says that Alice is a good place
    to start, but Leo suggests HTDP.ORG. It’s a programming book written
    by software professors all over the country and teaches "SCHEME,"
    which is a "flavor" of a programming language called LISP. Download
    DrScheme. This will teach you to plan, design, and organize your
    software ideas.
