a couple of friends asked me if we can arrange a weekly workshop where I introduce them to the basic of coding. I like the idea but hardly know where to start. The variety of material that is out there is huge and it's hard to judge what is good and what's not.

I'm basically looking for something like a "course book" that walks our group through the basics with hands on examples etc. It should be "fun" and not strictly academic. I don't care which topic the course is about (hardware hacking? web? game dev? whatever) as long as it's well thought though :)

Thanks for any recommendations!

After a year or so reading HN, I finally made an account! This place is overwhelmingly full of smart people, and I sometimes feel out of place! I have learned a great deal from all of you. With this said, I am embarking on a two year journey to apply to YC in FALL of 2017. I have given myself this arbitrary timeline to motivate myself.

You see, I am a total noob. I'm about to enroll in an online coding bootcamp. This is to grasp enough CS/coding experience so I can graduate from the proverbial 'I'm looking for a technical co-founder' dilemma, and to build the MVP on my own. What I become, for better or worse, is how I will attract the right people to tell my story and grow a company together. In the meantime, I am working on myself first and learning each day from all of you.
