Re: "Why Johnny can't code"
For a simple lineprogramming language for beginners, I'd have to reccomend Python. I've dabbled in it a little and it's remarkably intuitive to programmers and noobs alike. It's versatile, powerful, and simple. Beginners can use it to learn very easy mathematical operations and pro programmers can use it as an engine to run an application that would be needlessly complex in C/C++.
Simple programming languages aren't dead, they just no longer come from Microsoft.

(Yes, Python is a 'scripting' language. Don't dismiss it because of that. So is PHP. Both are remarkably clean and powerful programming languages.)
