Have you heard about Greenfoot?
If not - surf over to the Greenfoot
web site and have a look. Greenfoot is a new development
environment, built by the BlueJ team.
Greenfoot is great for building graphical interactive applications
(such as games and simulations) very easily and quickly. In
Java. And it's free.
Greenfoot is aimed at bringing programming into high schools
and university entry courses, but it can really do much more
than that. Have a look.
