I am using turtle graphics as the basis for a book I am writing for
beginning programmers. I do not use Tkinter, but Pygame, as I figure
the students are going to want to do more game-like things soon after
seeing the turtle (actually, I use a penguin ;-) run around the screen.

You can see more about it here:

I am still actively writing the book, but you can see what I have
so far linked there. Any feedback is appreciated.
