Thoughts on teaching Python stand out as especially trenchant even many months later. The intro course is so important, because it creates habits and mindsets in students that often long outlive the course. Teaching a large, powerful, popular programming language to beginners in the era of Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo is a Sisyphean task. No matter how we try to guide the students’ introduction to language features, the Almighty Search Engine sits ever at the ready, delivering size and complexity when they really need simple answers. Maybe we need language levels a lá the HtDP folks.
