最初的问题
我目前正在教我弟弟编程。他完全是个初学者,但很聪明。(他真的很想学)。我注意到我们的一些会议陷入了一些小细节,我觉得我不是很有条理。(但这篇文章的答案有很大帮助。)
我怎样才能更好地有效地教他?是否有一个逻辑顺序,我可以用一个概念一个概念地运行?是否有什么复杂的问题我应该在以后再讨论?
我们正在使用的语言是Python,但任何语言的建议都是受欢迎的。
如何提供帮助
如果你有好的答案,请在你的答案中添加以下内容:
初级练习和项目想法
初学者教学资源
屏幕视频/博客文章/免费电子书
印刷适合初学者的书籍
请用链接描述资源,以便我可以看一看。我想让每个人都知道,我确实在使用其中的一些想法。你提交的内容将在这篇文章中汇总。

从Python中的Turtle图形开始。
我会使用Python标准自带的海龟图形。它是可视化的,简单的,你可以使用这个环境来引入许多编程概念,比如迭代和过程调用,然后再深入语法。考虑下面的python交互会话:
>>> from turtle import *
>>> setup()
>>> title("turtle test")
>>> clear()
>>>
>>> #DRAW A SQUARE
>>> down() #pen down
>>> forward(50) #move forward 50 units
>>> right(90) #turn right 90 degrees
>>> forward(50)
>>> right(90)
>>> forward(50)
>>> right(90)
>>> forward(50)
>>>
>>> #INTRODUCE ITERATION TO SIMPLIFY SQUARE CODE
>>> clear()
>>> for i in range(4):
forward(50)
right(90)
>>>
>>> #INTRODUCE PROCEDURES
>>> def square(length):
down()
for i in range(4):
forward(length)
right(90)
>>>
>>> #HAVE STUDENTS PREDICT WHAT THIS WILL DRAW
>>> for i in range(50):
up()
left(90)
forward(25)
square(i)
>>>
>>> #NOW HAVE THE STUDENTS WRITE CODE TO DRAW
>>> #A SQUARE 'TUNNEL' (I.E. CONCENTRIC SQUARES
>>> #GETTING SMALLER AND SMALLER).
>>>
>>> #AFTER THAT, MAKE THE TUNNEL ROTATE BY HAVING
>>> #EACH SUCCESSIVE SQUARE TILTED
在尝试完成最后两个任务时,他们会有很多失败的尝试,但这些失败在视觉上很有趣,他们会很快学会,因为他们试图弄清楚为什么没有画出他们期望的样子。
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!
