The home page could link to the resources page in the "Open Workshops" description and a top nav link to "GET HELP"
The copy on the page should be more than a list of resources. It should welcome and guide new visitors assuming that they know nothing about coding (remember: the site's tagline is "Ready to learn to code?"). It can contain a list of resources, but that should be after a solid introduction.
Another book resource is Automate the boring stuff. Practical programming for total beginners by Al Sweigart.
Chapter 13 talks about working with pdf and word. I guess the lady who wanted to know something about python and pdf document can look at that section if it helps.
We had a quite a few young people at the workshop today. I got Python installed on their machine, but I didn't have great suggestions for what they could do next. It would be nice to have resources specifically aimed at teens/high school students.

This has both videos and text. Was written with earlier version so print is print" " instead of print(" ")but gives pretty much good information.

I think there is a good starting set now.
