Creating an account for my son!!

I am creating an account for my 11 year old. I would like some suggestions as far as what it will be the best road for him to start. He has no coding experience.

Thanks in advance for your replies!!

If hes interested in web development I would start with the Frontend development track. that would give him a good base and once hes finished with that he can move on to more advanced tracks such as rails or php which will build on all the html/css/general programming topics covered in the frontend track.

If hes more interested in app development the ios and android tracks can be difficult without any experience, so if he wants to get into app development I would recommend doing the Into to programming course first.

The app development tracks have a MUCH higher learning curve than the web design/development tracks in my opinion, as the cover more confusing object oriented programming topics. It might be best to just do the frontend track first before anything.
