I was thinking of something like this then, from the responses:
scratch/alice->hackety hack->lpthw/invent w python->how to think like a cs/a byte of python->tools/vim/emacs/vcs (?)->google code uni?->django book
Echoing Zed Shaw here (from the link about Dive Into Python, which was extremely helpful for me): what are some decent intros to all the tools used - eg git/vcs, emacs? This is as much for me as it is for her.
Any thoughts on this flow and the choice of resources, especially those with /options/?
hackety hack->?->rails guides? (what would be a similar path for ruby?)
And if this seems to be going a bit deeper than the original scope - it is - I suppose the latter bits are more aimed at teaching me and my brother. I have coded some vb6 before, and he hasn't done anything, but we both want to learn.
For us, we want to learn how to build websites first, so I was thinking:
I am teaching my 10 year old sister, but I don't really know much at all myself - I wish I had back then though, hence why I am teaching her.
She is learning just for the knowledge, with the aim of being able to use it as she needs - inspired by http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1299227.
