Day 4: More Strings, Raw Input
Read chapter 2 of the python text. This may require more than one reading.

Day 3: Modules, Functions, Saving, Strings
View:
Lesson #4: Modules and Functions
Lesson 5: How to save your program
Lesson #6: Strings
These lessons are a bit more complicated than the earlier ones. You may need to view them several times to ensure that you get the key ideas.
I'm starting to mix a bit of review in with lessons now - just to make sure previous concepts are reinforced. Review the slides on Why Program. Some of this might not make sense now...but it does introduce important elements about how/why of programming - particularly the components of a programming language, relation to hardware, etc.

Day 2: Installing python
This is a fairly easy start. We'll look at three short videos and read a chapter or so in the Python Programming book:
Video #1: Installing python
Video #2: Numbers and Math
Video #3: Variables
Read the intro chapter in Python Programming

Day 1: Getting started
Over the last several months, I've been looking for python programming resources that are suitable to new programmers. From what I've seen, relatively few options exist. In the process, I've purchased books, considered online courses, and scoured tons of short "one off" articles on how to program.
While I was hoping for a single source or course, I've ended up with a scattered range of resources, videos, and tutorials. We'll move through them at a "1 hours a day" rate.
First resource:
Python video tutorials. We'll spend time over the next several weeks on this resource, taking on about 3 videos per day.
PythonLearn will become an increasingly useful resource once we've finished the basic tutorials.
We'll pick resources from here periodically.
The Absolute Beginner's guide to python programming wil be a useful and ongoing resource.
We'll use other resources once we have formed a bit of a foundation.
