• The Getting Down With collection provides good introductions to:

  • the Linux Command Line Interface (CLI)
  • HTML
  • CSS
  • and more

• I strongly recommend skipping the vim lesson in the Linux CLI course, but nano should be covered -- even if it is not the editor that students will use most.

• For Python, with variing degrees of obsolescence:

  • Python Bibliotheca
  • Python for Fun
  • Graphics API for Students of Python (GASP)
