Regards, Will van der Leij -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Programming for beginers Date: Sat, 9 Jun 2007 17:08:57 +0530 From: shahul.stilldead <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] i've some across lot of people who want to learn programming but are not able to do so because they have limited access to learning tools. i think we should start up a new unit of ubuntu(like MIT OCW, iTunes U) which teaches the basics like C,C++,C#,java & basic computer structure & of course a forum where people can chat & get there doubts/problems cleared. it must be easy to understand & learn. we have seen a lot of initiatives like : http://www.cprogramming.com/. but these are hard to understand & not exactly aimed at the "dummies" categories. alos no forum support. i think this will also help to bring the community together. many developers like myself do not exactly have the time to actually develop but we can help i the forums. we must try & create a library of references (like Xcode)& links to various sites which may help them to. i'm an Indian and can see how lots of young teens want to do so . i think we see a potential to not only help ,but also expand the ubuntu cause & become make them become a part of it. we need more involvement & this is the only way i think we can do so. thank you. keep me posted. -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
