That's a rather hard question to answer without a little
more knowledge about the student's particular goals. Is the
student in some other discipline with a desire to know enough
about programming? Is he desirous to be a "programmer"? Is
he just trying to expand the breadth of his knowledge and has
chosen this as a specific way of doing so? Do you mean someone
who already knows some computer programming and wants to
pick up a different language? All of these may have
different answers.
That said, here's a link
to a book/course designed for teaching the general student
(not just the computer scientist or programmer) how to program
(or perhaps I should say, how to design programs).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
