Shoes

Two weekends ago, at Code Camp, I went to a presentation on Shoes, a Ruby-based IDE that includes Ruby in the install. It's not exactly enterprise ready and sometimes it dies on me, but if you're trying to teach your kid to program, it took Eryn just a few minutes to pick up a few of the basics. It's particularly easy to learn and you can do some fancy things like access Twitter or Flicker or YouTube without having to know low level programming functions.
