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!!!

I enjoyed both and they were an effective way to get started as a beginner.

My son, some of you have met, is showing an interest in Python
programming. 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.
Thanks everyone!
