I learned to program with KidSIM and later Stagecast Creator, a spin-off of Apple's Advanced Technologies Research Group in the 90s. I'm re-creating it so a new generation can learn the fundamentals of object-oriented programming the same way I did. I've been working with Dave Canfield Smith (one of the original authors and also inventor of the icon ) and it's been a blast to bring back my earliest memories of programming. All open-source and free of course.
