I wondered the same, also thinking about people I know who are starting to program.

In the end I think it's not a good fit, given that basic concepts are still being understood, and the mere task of reading a file and iterating over the lines, even the concept itself of what "iterating" is, is already a big challenge...

Trying is free and won't hurt, though, so why not :)
