One could start with any programming language. Bill Gates started with Assembly language and pretty much stayed with it. But Assembly language is not for everyone. So while C or C++ or VB or C# or even Java will work for some kids most kids really need something a little more designed for them. KPL is one such language.

One of the things people creating technology today need to know is where technology meets the law. Things like patents, copyright, contracts and concent degrees are becoming more and more a part of taking technology from the lab in the back to the market. I think techies should all be required to know something about how lawyers are getting involved in things. So, yeah, I think this belongs on Channel 9.

Another interesting automotive project is Project 54 at the University of New Hampshire. They are using the Microsoft speech software and building systems on top of Windows XP (regular and Tablet editions) that allow police to control the equipment in their cars using voice commands. It's up and running in all of the State Polie cars and more and more local police cars around the state and the US. Robert if you ever get out to New England again we should see if you can bring your camera to UNH for a demo.
