Bernie, I sincerely hope you were planning on using my book "Make Your Own Sugar Activities!" as reference material. It is found at http://en.flossmanuals.net/ActivitiesGuideSugar/Introduction and covers a great deal of the material they will need to learn, including Git and setting up a development environment.
I'm knocking off a couple more chapters this week, and they should be published soon.
