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:

Project Euler有许多有趣的数学问题，可以为初学者提供很好的材料。问题开始很简单，然后难度逐渐增加，网络上充满了各种编程语言的示例解决方案。

我认为Python是一种非常好的开始语言::-)

我建议你试试http://www.pythonchallenge.com/

它就像一个小冒险，每个解决方案都将你链接到一个新的好问题。

解决问题后，你可以进入一个不错的论坛，讨论你的代码，并看到其他人创建了什么。

Something you should be very mindful of while teaching your brother to program is for him not to rely too heavily on you. Often when I find myself helping others they will begin to think of me as answer book to all of their questions and instead of experimenting to find an answer they simply ask me. Often the best teacher is experimentation and every time your brother has a question like "What will happen if I add 2 to a string?" you should tell him to try it out and see for himself. Also I have noticed that when I cannot get a concept through to someone, it helps to see some sample code where we can look at each segment individually and explain it piece by piece. As a side note people new to programming often have trouble with the idea of object oriented programming, they will say they understand it when you teach it to them but will not get a clear concept of it until actually implementing it.

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。

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。
