Scratch is a highly visual programming language which is used to learn programming in schools, but also provides a great introduction to programming for people of all ages. I led a workshop recently at a PR agency that works with technology companies, and the team there learned a lot about how programs are put together, and the problem-solving approach that is central to programming. If you want to take Scratch further, Chapter 11 in the full book talks you through how you can use it to create an alien shoot-em-up game.
