Been there done that.  A good start is to find out the previous instructor and what he/she had already organized and implemented.  Otherwise, a local community college will have just what you need.

Are you referring to Fibonacci knitting? If so, here are some good sites that explain the mathematical theory behind it and how to incorporate it into your knitting. Using this method can help you create cool stripe patterns in sweaters, felted bags and other knitted projects.\n\nBest of luck in your knitting adventures!\n\nIndigoMuse

1. Evaluate and understand the task in hand completely. Make sure there is no confusion.\n2. Write an algorithm in plain English (or language of your choice)\n3. Divide task into smaller computer related tasks (input/output, processing, conditions etc.)\n4. While distributing your task in smaller ones, try your best that they are finctionally independent. That is do not combine input and condition as one rather split them into two.\n5. It's better that you choose Heirarchical approach instead of a linear one because linear approach is easy to draw and mess up.\n\nRead the above twice so they become 10 guidelines.

google:  free tumble block pattern.\nI did that, and there are lots of websites where you can get a pattern.  As far as teaching you how, you're on your own.

:: HOW TO LEARN JAVA ::\n\n1. Download java at http://java.sun.com.\n2. Bookmark the javadocs api: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/index.html\n3. Go to http://www.javaranch.com and do the cattle roundup 3 times a day.\n4. Also on javaranch, start doing every lesson in order on the Cattle Drive pages.\n\nOnce you've gotten the basics down, kick it into higher gear:\n1. Make up a command line application to write (a game, such as mindsweeper, or the ubiquitous bank account app).\n2. Set a deadline (like one week)\n3. Show it off to your friends and family.\n4. Most importantly: teach them how you did it.

Book is one of the best method of learning any thing. You should learn Java from a good book. Then use Internet to find solution of problems which you can't solve or can't understand from book. And to learn a language practice is must. So being asscociated with a training is a good idea, else you should find problems from net and solve them.

- Follow your teacher(s) in the school.\n- Do your homework.\n- Try hard to solve the problems yourself before you ask anybody.\n- If someone helps you solve a problem -- take time to go over the steps.\n- Finally, practice, practice, practice.\n\nBest of lcuk.

the best option is 1st \nLearn Programming 1st then do testing as you get to know after programming experience where generally programmers create mistakes and which leads to a rippling error effects in the whole application . This will train you to write better test cases and be more efficient.

practice, practice, practice! Experience is the best teacher. \n\nI've found that the best way is to write programs for other people. That way, you are challenged to try new things (web service, database connections, automation) that you might not have tried on your own.
