We are creating an open-source group with a large emphasis on introducing designers to programming. I have a library of material that I believe is important but I want the opinion of Stack. What do you guys believe is a good path for the casual programmer to start out on?
Since this is an open group and we do not really know who is going to show up we want to cover the bases. Although we are prepared for the worst we expect that any one attending will have graduated high-school and will have an understanding of the necessary algebra.(cringe)
I am looking for the best links to any online materials that people have found useful for teaching introduction to programming and logic.
We hope to amass enough material to compile a simple wiki that can serve as the basses for our lesson plan.
