I was thinking the same thing, Jon. If my memory can be trusted, you were the first to mention Ruby on this list, and that was quite a few years ago.


I'm still thinking that maybe the Ruby tutorial would be a nice way to get him started with some of the basic ideas, then move to the Python tutorial and let him work with Python for a while. That way he would see that there are different languages, how they are different and how they are alike (the "alike" part is probably most important). He would get the benefit of the nice Ruby tutorial and the easy availability of Python code.
