[K12OSN] RE: Python Tutorial

[Tim Kaldahl]

Bill,

This is a link to the "survey" course I taught in a computer tech class. It
was fairly easy for me to follow (important because I have had not
programming since BASIC back in the dark ages) and the students seemed to
enjoy it. http://rupert.honors.montana.edu/~jjc/easytut/easytut/

Great, now you got me all pumped about Python again... way to go Bill...
;o) I haven't specifically looked for young kids, my age group would
have been (and hopefully will be) early HS age.  I'll google a bit, but
here are some links that are interesting, albeit not elementary.
