My 9 year old girl has expressed an interest in learning to program. Of course I want something that will give her short term rewards, but still teach solid skills. I know this question gets asked from time to time on various forums but I wanted to get some opinions from the good people of SN.
Christmas is coming... she's (for now) a Windows user... is there something you'd recommend as a gift?
Thanks for your ideas.

I agree with Scratch. I want to get my own kids started on this. Also, you can take the Harvard intro to computer science (CS50x) on Edx for free and they use Scratch to teach programming and CS concepts to their students.
