Announcement: The Simple Turtle Tutorial

Posted by Al Sweigart in misc   

I've written a self-contained turtle graphics tutorial in Python called The Simple Turtle Tutorial. This free resource is for hobbyists or instructors to use to introduce students or adults to programming by creating computer art. It features reviews, practice challenges, and covers many of the basic functions of Python's turtle.py module.

In the future, I plan on making ebooks available for download and purchase. Once I have the Tortuga package finished, I also plan on making translations of the book available.
