I'm just giving anecdotal evidence for what worked for me; and TypeRacer puts me at 90-110 wpm, which is far more than I'll ever need for my programming work.

Then again, if he's actually asking for a program to help him because he actually wants a program's help (as opposed to thinks it's the only way he can learn), it'd be better to go with a program. What I was encouraging was that you didn't have to have a program to help you learn how to type. Also, just using all 10 fingers on the keyboard all the time, and having them rest on or near home row, even when you have to look down occassionally to see which finger should go after which key, and where that key is, is a good step toward improving as touch-typist.
