For a couple of years, I taught beginner programming to high school and university students who did not intend to be developers. The members of these classes did not have an engineering background and only applied for fun — or because the curriculum forced them to. During these times I went through multiple iterations of my course materials and changed many of its details including the language being taught, the editor being used, and the storage of the resulting programs. I kept the parts that worked well in the previous semester and threw out the ones that did not. I had some very positive feedback along the way, along with some total failures. In this talk, I am sharing my learnings from these classes and invite the audience to help me improve the material even further with their feedback.
