Not a support Question...Just need a Dev's opinion or two

[luvmyhonda]

Hey devs,
I want your opinion on something: I have a nephew who's about 13 years old. His mother wants me to teach him some things about computers, and he wants to be a game developer/designer (I'm not sure which, but I don't think it makes a difference at 13). It's been a long time since my formal education, and my formal education wasn't really in computer science, since it was in the 70's. Anyway, I was wondering if any of you could give me any ideas of what to kind of "start him off" with. I appreciate it, thanks. Sorry for posting it in the Dev forum, but it's about the closest I could think of, and it's not really a support question anyway.
