At least Joe got the name right but not mis-pronounced as Thighland as the other buffoon did.  

2 buffoons!  God Bless America!!

I've been working for months to get approval for my extension on retirement out of Buriram Amphur. They sent me back to CW for another stamp. Off to US Embassy to stamp my Pass Port. Have Thai Birth Certificate and Thai PP for my son. Then wanted MORE documents translated! I am going around in circles. Asking for a child extension.

sounds good  thanks

Those you've mentioned can hardly be counted as programming languages! Since they are extremely extremely high level and thought out to let people "code" but barely understanding what is going on. 

 

IMO, at 12 years old, you need to do it the right way, and not jump straight into coding, but firstly start with how computers work. 

 

- CPU & Memory (ALUs, registers, addresses, operations). There are ways to make a kid this young understand all these pretty well.

 

- Teach him and let him do some coding at a very low level (Assembly) - again this doesn't mean making your kid an ASM master, just let him"play" around with it and get a grasp.  

 

- Now comes programming logic, and the best way to make a kid learn this is believe it or not with Excel spreadsheets. If your kid learns Excel at a good level, programming mindset will come much more easy. Cuz Excel is a simplified way of programming, the logic is the same! 

 

- Once he has passed all this, you can start with abstractions and high level languages (Arduino, PHP, Python,...). 

 

IMO if you start teaching him from the ground up, it will make his life easier, and he will be a better programmer once he reaches the commonly used high level coding languages, than if you start straight from high level programming languages.

 

 

 

Thanks to all for your help. I knew nothing when I started this (only the  word code). I still know nitnoy. Seems to me that BKK Brian will get my first try at his links. Still do not have anyone who offered to teach. Zoom is ok for my son. He has been on it for 2 years and his Thai language teacher is on it 3 times a week. Just want to get him started.

Not sure if my son is a self starter. Guess I will find out.

He wants to learn to code as well as general education. Hourly. A few days a week.

Singapore eh. sounds plausable.

no worry be happy. Issan has it all.

when can I use the 400,000?

KhunLA

What kind of account in Thailand did you establish?

Thanks PIB. Where do I start?

Times have changed! Years ago I tried and was told

1) Have to go to head branch of BKK bank in BKK.

2) Went and spent several hours around da Rosie.

#) Finally told ok, but they will hold money for 45 days!

I declined and now use wise.

The one message about the direct deposit with no hitches sounds best. But how do you set it up?

how do you set that up? BKK Bank??

now we know

I saw this starting back in June with prices here.  When I mentioned it on another OP I was chastised by some who claim they know how economies work and said that I had no Idea what I was talking about.  I even posted actual indices and indicated how the economy was slowing and we were seeing Stagflation, but oh no that could never happen in Thailand as the economy was still growing with exports and imports.....lol.

 

Inflation is here and has been here.  Prices on all commodities have risen and then with the transport of goods slowing down, all we can do is hope it does not get worse and those at the poverty level have even less.  With the lack of jobs and the regulations put in place with this government they are just hurting things even more.  However, this is my view and sure I will be once again told I am wrong in this view.

Not so

Where can I find info on father child visa?

Back in June, my son and I had to automatically Q for 14 days upon arrival in BKK. Remember?

crackdown? FINALLY!! Thank God!

I'm going to cancel my flight home

Looking for a way to contact the Farang who has a store that sells western food. Heard he delivers to Buriram on Thursdays?

Please help

heaven forbid! What if the many tourists that came to Thailand are finished with Thailand? Now want to go elsewhere, no matter what the Government does ?
