So I really wanted to keep the ball rolling with this Follow-up Friday. I'm very excited at the idea of turning all this passion and excitement for Minecraft and other games that my son has into a gateway to game programming, and it seems I'm not alone.  I was surprised to hear how few women there are in programming despite the fact that most women I know are far better suited to it than their male counterparts...myself included! Thanks for all the comments and here are the links:
