这是一本很棒的书，我的小弟弟们曾经学过:

当然，最重要的是在读完这本书之后立即开始一个真正有用的程序。

I would recommend also watching some screencasts - they are generally created in context of a specific technology not a language, though if there's Python code displayed, that'll do :). The point is - they're created by some good programmers and watching how good programmers program is a good thing. You and your brother could do some peer programming as well, that might be an even better idea. Just don't forget to explain WHY you do something this way and not that way. I think the best way to learn programming is from good examples and try not to even see the bad ones.

你的问题取决于你兄弟的年龄和教育程度，但如果他是一个孩子/青少年，我建议你先做一些GUI编程或图形编程(使用Canvas等)。看起来不错，而且效果立竿见影。算法很无聊，对年轻人(比如说15岁之前)来说太抽象了。

当我开始在ZX Spectrum上编程时(我大概12岁)，我喜欢在屏幕上画各种各样的东西，这仍然很有趣。我直到18岁才真正了解算法技术。不要被这种“简单”的编程是错误的开始所误导;学习它的人的兴趣是它最重要的部分。

所以，我会研究PyKDE, PyGTK, PyQt或Python + OpenGL(网上当然有一些教程，我知道一些捷克语，但这对你没有帮助:))。

当然，如果你的哥哥比你大，并且接受过数学方面的教育，你可以直接学习算法等。

My favourite "start learning to code" project is the Game Snakes or Tron because it allows you to start slow (variables to store the current "worm position", arrays to store the worm positions if the worm is longer than one "piece", loops to make the worm move, if/switch to allow the user to change the worm's direction, ...). It also allows to include more and more stuff into the project in the long run, e.g. object oriented programming (one worm is one object with the chance to have two worms at the same time) with inheritance (go from "Snakes" to "Tron" or the other way around, where the worm slightly changes behavior).

我建议您从微软的XNA开始。根据我的经验，如果你能在屏幕上看到一些东西，开始编程就会有趣得多，而XNA使得在屏幕上移动一些东西变得非常容易。做一些小的改变并获得另一种看法是很容易的，例如通过改变颜色，这样他就可以看到他的行动有效果->成功的印象。成功是有趣的，这是不断学习的巨大动力。

我不知道是否有人在这里提到过，但是你可能想看看Zed Shaw的《用艰难的方式学习Python》

希望这能有所帮助
