First (very small) steps into Python

My first attempts into coding - Python (Why couldn't they have chosen a less snake like name?)!

So it's time for me to step up my eldest boy's IT lessons and include some basic coding.  I've chosen to start him on Python, simply because it looks simple enough for me to master that I can confidently ensure he learns it well.

DK have a very good child friendly project book "Computer Coding Made Easy) so that's where our little journey begins. Having downloaded Python (version 3) I've set myself up to do the first few pages of tasks - so far so good!

Having cracked the basic commands of making my Turtle draw some rather basic shapes, I think my boy will love this.  Excuse just how basic this is, but I'm only just starting out:

>>> forward(100)
>>> right(90)
>>> forward(100)
>>> right(90)
>>> forward(100)
>>> right(90)
>>> forward(100)

Gets you something like this:

That's it for now, but expect more to come as we both learn more about coding and Python.  Who knows, perhaps this could lead to bigger and better projects - have my sight set on some Raspberry Pi robots...
