I think you should focus on exercises then which are relevant to their work. Perhaps some form of project planning, some kinds of calculations, simple tools to make their daily things go easier, meeting minute keepers/schedulers, todo list managers etc. Some information on good practices like version control might be good too although that wanders away from "programming" and moves into "software development". -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
