Today Python is a good choice for the coding ninjas of tomorrow. The easy-to-learn language is widely used in various fields and lots of books and tutorials show how to get started but usually take the command-line way.
Processing (https://processing.org/) also offers an exciting start into coding for the visually-oriented and can easily be combined with Python using the little-known Python Mode for Processing (https://github.com/jdf/processing.py#python-mode-for-processing). If this team of languages is finally joined by an Arduino, super powers are not far out of reach!
I will talk about my experiences teaching Python with Processing’s Python Mode at university and would like to dive into a discussion about how to teach coding for newbies.
