This was recommended by one of the DYS mentors as the best place to start. http://www.sonic.net/~nbs/webturtle/ Shari Mom to DS 10, DS 11, DS 13 Ability doesn't make us, Choices do!

The download is free and you can order the book or join the group. This builds environments, teaches programming at the same time, and you can even build a person (like SIMS). alice.org
