Hi Julie, This is a great initiative. I will be keen to monitor how you are getting on. I am particularly interested in how to teach and motivate people who are new to programming. Have you a course outline that you are working from? Your five week plan is pretty specific. How can Python Ireland help? If you are coming on Wednesday next lets have a chat.
