One of the best tutorials for non-programmers is at
http://www.crosswinds.net/~agauld

It is a tutorial that teaches programming, using Python. It's also available
in book form.

Other tutorials are listed at www.python.org, under "Documentation" ->
"Introductions" -> "Introductions for non-programmers".

Also, you can join the Tutor list to ask beginner questions, see
