All of these are great ideas - THANK YOU!I talked to my son last night while out working on the barn and he said that designing computer games would be fun. I think I will get us the "Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner 3rd Ed." and once we get going along in that book I will expose him to http://inventwithpython.com/ which talks about writing Python to make games.
If this works out for him I might never have to write another script again <evil grin>
Thanks everyone, these are all great examples!!! Robert Miller (arch3angel) On 6/12/12 3:25 PM, xgermx wrote:

He has never done any sort of programming in the past, however I told him that we would learn Python together. I have very little programming experience myself, but I have worked in Python in the past. Mostly either reworking something already written or very small targeted scripts for a certain task. What would be a good book , or website, that we can sit down at the kitchen table to learn Python side by side? I thinking something which creates short bursts of code that has a usable product in the end might be better, this way he doesn't get bored and decide to quit before he realizes the power of Python.
