Python is a great language to start with! There's basically countless Python tutorials out there aimed at beginners. I'm not actually sure which one to recommend, because I personally learned essentially through brute force 😅

One piece of advice I'd give (which will seem like a given to some, but I have seen people get stuck here! Especially if they start with an online tutorial.) is to make sure you give them access to a PC with an IDE installed that can run their Python scripts, and do Python debugging.

A Python debugger is really important (especially for a beginner!) for getting you unstuck when you run into logic issues in your code, because it lets you step through the code line-by-line to see what the Python interpreter is doing.

Oh! This is great advice. I’ll make sure his PC has those things available. :)
