    I’m going to offer something a bit different. I’ll start by saying that I’ve never actually used it beyond a bit of tinkering and watching the presentation at the Strange Loop conference.a

    The basic idea is that it’s actually pretty hard to do things wrong at the start, mostly because you just can’t do much. What you don’t get right has very clear descriptions of what you’ve done wrong, where, and even suggestions for corrections.

    As you progress, you can do more and you have a very gradual transition to the more restrictive environment that most programming languages have.

    By the time you are done, you are basically programming in Python, so further learning can take place using the myriad of courses, tutorials, and documentation available for that language.

    I have no real experience with it beyond some basic tinkering. It is designed for classroom use, or at least on the assumption that there is a teacher or instructor available. That may not translate well to someone learning on their own.
