I try to teach lots of people GS2 who choose to come to me and it usually works rather well. I PERSONNALY believe the best way to start teaching it is to explain the following:
- How a script is read (compiled together and all the functions are stored to be run when "called")
- The 2 different things you can do in a gs2 script (call functions and set variables)
- How functions work (Also: calling built-in functions [such as onCreated()] and redefining built-in functions [such as function show() {}])
- The 4 variable types: (Float, String, Object, Array)

I believe the last of those things to be the MOST important to actually grasp the concepts of gs2 coding. I am a GUI man though, so my ideas may just be biased as I use objects a lot.

If anyone wants to try to make a guide like such, feel free!
I should get around to actually making one sometime (when I'm not so swamped D: ).
