Biologists without any prior coding experience should start with these tutorials. "Absolute Beginner's Guide to Bioinformatics - 1 and 2" provide general introduction to a range of topics - (i) NCBI and other databases, (ii) BLAST, MUSCLE and other programs, (iii) git and github, (iv) linux, (v) R, (vi) Python, etc so that a beginner can put them in the right context. This introduction should be subsequently followed by learning a language (R or Python). The tutorials "R for Biology" and "Python for Biology" are available for the beginners.
This tutorial and the following one present various computational concepts (Linux, git, R, Python, etc.) at an introductory level for the biologists. You do not need to have prior programming experience to follow these two tutorials.
