I find that structuring your intro course around how to deal with data in different forms is a fantastic intro. It lets you focus on the vital parts, but in a way that lets you deal with the ugly parts (user interaction and error handling) later on without changing much.
I really like this book.
- johnc1231 9y agoWhat I also like about this book is that it manages to get to "exciting" programs fairly quickly. Like, for a first time programmer, it can be boring to spend all your time writing things that convert Fahrenheit to Celsius or print staircases out of asterisks with double for loops. In this book, it's very easy to work with images, allowing things to move towards things like basic game development very quickly.
