Scratch

There's this really awesome program made by students of MIT to help teach kids how to program. It makes programming really easy and fun. You can find out more about it here.

The first person the reply actually was helping 

Okay peterkap, i would slightly like to change your precedance ,instead of flash you might want to invest your time in learning JavaScript . reason ?
1. JavaScript is Free all you need is a notepad(though free IDE's like Aptana Studio helps) and a web-browser
2. JavaScript is Fast ( It's basically using browser directly instead of flash which has a totally different approach , hence when used with css this language can do stuff in microseconds what flash will take like a millisecond! )
3. JavaScript is Easy ( Trust me it was the easiest language i learnt , Flash's actionscript is a very similar language but with some minor defferences )
4. JavaScript is very analogous to Scratch ( totally similar to Byob )
5. JavaScript gives you dual benifits you can write websites and you can write applications aswell.
6. The industry is moving towards web-based development these days and javaScript being the language of web it gets a very big upperhand here


Make a note that Java Script and Java Core are two very different languages.

Now there are many resources to learn javascript .
i would suggest
w3schools for now . later on i will share higher level websites

are you sure javascript is for websites ??? (esp when talking to me ? )


a full 3d rendering raycaster writtten on javascript (8 hours) ..

[ur=http://chats.ws/]  a full chat client written on js[/url]
a win 7 UI written on javascript aswell
  i dont think its only a website only language -.-

i find it as a General Purpose Programming Language which also solves the issues of cross-browser performance

Its not made by mit. And it isn't really like scratch. I think you'll like it! 

And my last suggestion .. continued to my last message

if you think you dont wanna learn javascript .. learn C++ (in beginning it might sound idiotism but C++ worths learning time for it , it might take an hour or 2 to get familier , 1 or 2 months to get used to .. but after that C++ gives u the overall best options for coding and you are NOT bound to the boundations of the program when using a language as powerful as C  for instance 90% of my projects fail because of scratches speed or non-supported-things that are required/ )
