Several of these let you start trying out code without really being aware of what language you are using. It leads to the question - does language matter?
I am starting to wonder if we even should be teaching a specific language in the beginning. Perhaps a better approach is to expose students to successful coding situations, build some positive experiences, then start to get more depth with one language.
This list is a quick start. Let me know if you know of any sites that should be listed.
