[GTALUG] Java coding education/tutorials

My son is all motivated to learn Java so that he can hack around in
Minecraft, so I'm looking for ways for him to get started. I have no coding
background either, so I am equally lost.

We are working with Alice right now, and I think it's giving him the basic
idea, but I'm not sure how far Alice can take him. On the one hand I'm
tempted to just start mangling some Minecraft code and learn that way, but
I don't want to ruin the momentum here.

Can anyone recommend something to get him to the next stage?

I've been desperate to get him to start to learn coding so I don't want to
waste this opportunity now that he's actually motivated! :-)
