这可能看起来很奇怪，但我在以前的工作中通过自动化任务和数据分析开始编写代码。这是通过记录和研究Excel宏生成的代码来完成的。当然，这种方法假设您可以通过VB学习。

不管他们写什么，让他们在第一次运行时在调试器中逐行逐行地检查。让他们自己看看电脑在做什么。这消除了许多神秘感，减少了恐惧(“哦，每一行真的都那么简单!”)，并帮助他们学习调试技能，并认识到为什么常见错误是常见的(以及为什么它们是错误)。

一开始我遇到了很多困难，但最简单的便是简单的机制。概念，我立刻接受了。但错过了结尾处的大括号?在一个非平凡的程序中，这很容易做到，但通常很难调试。

所以，我的建议是:不要低估基础(比如良好的打字)。这听起来像是补救，甚至有些愚蠢，但当我在学习过程的早期偶然发现输入代码结构的完整“骨架”然后填充它的简单技术时，它为我省去了很多痛苦。

对于Python中的"if"语句，可以从以下语句开始:

if  :

在C / c++ / c# / Java:

if () 
{

}

在Pascal / Delphi:

If () Then
Begin

End

然后，在开始和结束标记之间输入。一旦这成为一个牢固的习惯，你就会不假思索地去做，更多的大脑就会被释放出来做有趣的事情。我承认，这不是一个非常浮夸的建议，但我个人认为它有很多好处!

编辑:[Justin Standard] 谢谢你的贡献，Wing。与你说的相关，我试图帮助我哥哥记住python作用域的语法的一件事是，每当有冒号时，他需要缩进下一行，而每当他认为应该缩进时，最好有一个冒号结束前一行。

There have already been a bunch of great answers, but for an absolute beginner, I would wholeheartedly recommend Hackety Hack. It was created by the unreasonably prolific why_the_lucky_stiff specifically to provide a BASIC/LOGO/Pascal-like environment for new programmers to experiment in. It's essentially a slick Ruby IDE with some great libraries (flash video, IM, web server) and interactive lessons. It makes a good pitch for programming, as it chose lessons that do fun, useful things. "Hello, world" may not impress right off the bat, but creating a custom IM client in 20 minutes can inspire someone to keep learning. Have fun!

让它变得有趣就好!

令人惊讶的是，如果您尝试Kojo, Scala可能是最简单的

Python is easy for new developers to learn. You don't get tangled up in the specifics of memory management and type definition. Dive Into Python is a good beginners guide to python programming. When my sister wanted to learn programing I pointed her to the "Head Start" line of books which she found very easy to read and understand. I find it's hard to just start teaching someone because you don't have a lexicon to use with them. First have him read a few books or tutorials and ask you for questions. From there you can assign projects and grade them. I find it hard to teach programming because I learned it over nearly 15 years of tinkering around.
