Heya ElixirBridge,

I did some brainstorming at the workshop yesterday for a potential beginner's curriculum. I have a general outline of two units. There are a few goals here:

• Introduce domain modeling as soon as possible as a means of grounding the material
• Find the most efficient path to "Coder MVP", exclude all info that's unnecessary to get there
• Students need a reason to care about a new concept -- in general, before introducing a new concept, try to communicate the pain/problem that the concept is solving
• When introducing a new concept, prefer a wide range of examples over definitions
• After a new introduction, have the class immediately apply that knowledge with an exercise. Where possible, incorporate previous concepts into the exercise

Whatcha think?
