Open source programming languages for kids

12-19-2008 07:00 AM
The past couple of years have seen an explosion of open source programming languages and utilities that are geared toward children. Many of these efforts are based around the idea that, since the days of BASIC, programming environments have become far too complex for untrained minds to wrap themselves around. Some toolkits aim to create entirely new ways of envisioning and creating projects that appeal to younger minds, such as games and animations, while others aim to recreate the "basic"-ness of BASIC in a modern language and environment.

ppdi(1)                                                             Apple Inc.                                                             ppdi(1)

NAME

       ppdi - import ppd files

SYNOPSIS

       ppdi [ -I include-directory ] [ -o source-file ] ppd-file [ ppd-file2 ... ppd-fileN ]

DESCRIPTION

       ppdi  imports  one  or  more  PPD  files into a PPD compiler source file.  Multiple languages of the same PPD file are merged into a single
       printer definition to facilitate accurate changes for all localizations.

       The -o option specifies the PPD source file to update. If the source file does not exist, a new  source  file  is  created.  Otherwise  the
       existing file is merged with the new PPD file(s) on the command-line. If no source file is specified, the filename "ppdi.drv" is used.
