start with 'hour of code'. did that with my son and it uses the same technology used by MIT's app inventor, SCRATCH.

ETA its so easy..and once you've done a couple; check out the youtube video where a guy goes through a scratch app created for android and codes in JAVA. you'll quickly realize that most of the 'barriers' to programming are more having knowledge of the syntax and how to properly install all the doo-dads that make up the IDE (integrated development enviornment)

the actual coding is pretty straightforward.

do NOT try to install java or something first. that will just piss you off and turn you off from this entirely.

good luck
