Brilliant idea! I had lots of trouble trying to start programming and still struggle now. Most of the courses I have attended or guides I have read have been very much aimed at Computer Scientists with language and structure that they are familiar with. Coming from a non-CS background this was all gobbldy-gook until I "had a go". I suggest that you come up with a simple task to complete though. Even something like "count the works in a sentence" or "count the numbers of "the" in a paragraph" this teaches some very basic stuff that is assumed knowledge in other tutorials.
