Thanks for the well thought out reply! The course layout you have written out is quite thorough. The only thing is that for someone who does not have any programming background, they need to see immediate results to gain an understanding of how powerful code is. That is why I thought Html/CSS is a good starting point and then go in deeper.
I am open to other methodologies, and we can talk more on email if you would like. Would love to exchange ideas and resources (email in profile)
It's a bit radical, but I am tempted to test it. :)
I am wiseleo on just about every website and gmail, so feel free to send me an instant message.
For me, seeing an executable test spec for the first time was very surprising and revealing. There is an entire book "Refactoring: improving the design of existing code" that teaches you how to name functions so your code reads like English.
After all, this is valid Jasmine from near the beginning of my test suite:
it("should return an array containing at least one object", function() {
expect(menu.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
});
It reads like English. If you can show that code can be written like this rather than like typical code, you will notice an immediate jump in confidence.
If you show that in Rspec, where the alien-looking
function (
) {
};
is replaced with
do
end
and expect('should do something useful') becomes expect "should do something useful"
Its pretty old by anything of todays standards. I did get Ubuntu loaded on it for my teenage son to travel with this Summer and he says it doesn't really work for his needs, FYI.
Thanks for the input, appreciate it! I am mostly focusing on tools that give him explicit visual feedback, so that is why I am focusing on html and styling. Write some code and then have it do something on a blank page seems to be powerful.
As for theory, I am not really focusing on programming concepts, more on practical/visual work initially.
I was thinking of giving him some codecombat/scratch homework, but he is a bit older (16 already) so thought he might think it is for people younger than him. I will try it out though myself first.
