Hi all,

I am currently writing and teaching my brother how to program, cause he =
says he wants to make his own computer games.  Should I start teaching =
him about registers, and the ALU and things like that first, or should I =
teach him about flow charting and psuedo code?  I didn't really start at =
either one.  I started with the Python tutorials and that didn't go to =
far at first.  I am trying to help him get started in a more structured =
sort of way that won't make him get discouraged.  Do any of you have any =
suggestions?

Thanks for you help,

Cameron Stoner
