I've put this book together and refined it from year-to-year based on student feedback during their first semester of programming at Simpson College. This is a first-semester course and assumes no prior knowledge of programming. I’ve successfully run hundreds of students through this course and had them create their own arcade games. Each time I refine the course and use their questions to make the book that much better.

 

Plus, there are Russian and Turkish translations thanks to some volunteers!

I am checking out the site. Can you make a PDF of the Lessons as a Manual so that they can be kept on the Pandora for offline reference and working on the lessons away from the net?
