Hi,
I noticed Turing is not listed as a programming language, so for anyone who programs with Turing you can start here!
I have 4 years experience with Turing and I have posted some of my programs on my computer science website: Sean's Computer Science
Feel free to download any of my programs!

A link to where we can find Turing would be more useful than a link to your site.

Download Turing 4.1.1 | CompSci.ca/blog

Going to holt software's site, it looks like this is a language that will not be maintained. It may be a good teaching language, but students will need to quickly shift to something else.

If you think about it, that's not true. "for anyone who programs with Turing" means for anyone who programs with Turing, hence they already have Turing. If you program with Turing, you may be interested in seeing some examples would you not?
This is why I posted a link to my site within my post.
Thank you to krwq though for posting a download link for Turing.
To compile code (make an executable), use Turing 4.1 since 4.1.1 has a glitch preventing it from successfully making an exe.

Sadly, this is more than true; Holtsoft went down and is no longer running. However, the language is quite useful for educational purposes (I used it from grade 9-12). As for learning a new language, I recommend C++ and/or C#.
I plan on learning C++ or C# some time soon this year in university and I will use this to hopefully recode my rpg (Grail Quest).
