不如这样:纳特·托金顿(Nat Torkington)的《培养下一代黑客》。

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.

有一本维基百科非常适合学习python。

我不知道其他语言的维基百科是怎样的，但我个人是从2007年2月的维基百科上学习python的

Ps -如果你不熟悉维基书，它基本上是维基百科版本的书籍创作。这有点难以描述，但如果你看了几本书你就会明白它是如何工作的

If he is interested than I wouldn't worry about focusing on games or whatnot. I'd just grab that beginners 'teach yourself x' book you were about to throw and give it him and let him struggle through it. Maybe talk about it after and then do another and another. After then I'd pair program with him so he could learn how shallow and lame those books he read were. Then I'd start having him code something for himself. A website to track softball stats or whatever would engage him. For me it was a database for wine back in the day.

在那之后，我会开始真正的书籍，领域设计等。

我浏览了一下评论，似乎没有人提到www.CodeBetter.com上的编程基础。虽然它需要一些基础知识，但它肯定是学习过程中的下一步。

我可以推荐我的项目，PythonTurtle。

简介:

PythonTurtle致力于提供学习Python的最低门槛方法。学生们命令一个交互式的Python shell(类似于IDLE开发环境)，并使用Python函数移动屏幕上显示的海龟。说明帮助屏幕向学生介绍Python编程的基础知识，同时演示如何移动海龟。

它是这样的:
