Maybe the best intro to software development I’ve ever encountered was something Apple made in the 1980s.

It was called HyperCard.

The concept was so simple almost anyone could do it. You had a series of cards, and you linked them.

You could build lots of things with HyperCard: tell stories, store recipes, make games.

In fact, HyperCard apparently inspired the World Wide Web.
