Having trouble grasping object-oriented programming? Read Plato. - Jason Salas' WebLog
Appropriately, I've got a new "philosophy" when it comes to teaching new programmers about object-oriented programming (OOP).
What if Aristotle Were a Software Engineer?

Code Hero raises over $100,000 for shooter that teaches computer programming
Over the years, there have been a lot of efforts to create games that make learning how to program a computer simple and fun, with widely variable results.

Many programming tutorials begin with basic programming principles: variables, loops, data types. This is both an obvious way to teach programming and almost certainly a wrong way to teach programming.
