web based programming tutorial
Does anyone know of a good web site to teach programming to people who have no prior experience? One that leads towards Android programing would be good. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

If the goal is pedagogy, they should probably learn CS first, after which programming is an incidental triviality. In which case, my set response is http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/ http://swiss.csail.mit.edu/classes/6.001/abelson-sussman-lectures/ If the goal is "make $$$ by writing cool video games" or similar, I'll leave the recommendations to someone else.

Yes, definitely the right recommendation. Android is largely written in Java; the following seems (on quick inspection) to be reasonable: http://math.hws.edu/javanotes/
