Example:
Even the simplest Windows program requires you to learn Win32 programming, which, on the other hand, assumes a comfortable knowledge of at least one programming language (preferably C or C++). Drawing to the screen... oh man, you need to dig into the GDI or DirectX / OpenGL. It gets confusing fast.

He can just use Visual Basic and not worry 'bout all those things, actually. It's good for beginners. Writes almost like English, is easy to learn and can be used as step-in for other languages such as Java or C++, as the main thing that requires, is starting to understand the less English-like but more abstract language and how to work with header-files. All by all, it's a small step once you've gained decent understanding of VB, which on itself isn't that hard to get.
