I was recently emailed from a dad wanting to get his 10 and 13 year old kids interested in coding. There are so many choices out there in terms of languages and for a non-nerd, it is hard to choose.
Having been teaching code since 2003, I suggest strongly that the languages of web design are the best choices. Here is my response to the father:
I am a big advocate of HTML5 since it is visual, easy to learn and is the basis of all websites, web apps and is a popular choice for creating mobile apps for iOS and Android. Students get excited when they see they are building actual websites.
I think if your kids have done Scratch, then I would suggest you move them into real coding beginning with HTML5, followed by CSS3 and then add the code that allows for decision making capability with JavaScript.
At the risk of being a shameless self promoter, StudioWeb provides that pathway with fun interactive training. We have family licenses that gives you the full classroom experience, where you have your own classroom, complete with teacher’s monitoring, auto grading and projects that you can assign your kids. Very easy to use but a powerful training environment that will teach your kids real-world coding skills that they can use to express any ideas they may have.

Mobile apps created with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, are often simply called HTML5 apps. Today, mobile app development with HTML5 is becoming the most popular way to create apps. Why? Because …
I just released my Interactive Web Design training course, where you learn to code as you play a quizzing game. The course package teaches you the key computer languages of web design:
Luminosity claims its’ games helps to train the brain; well, the government seems to have had a few issues with that claim.  But one thing is sure, learning a new language is proven to have many brain building benefits.
