I have frequently taught Java to students, and I have always felt that there are way too many things that need to be done in Java, to write simple programs. This takes the focus away from programming - to learning all the incidental things that need to be done (even to write basic programs). A typical 10 week semester, falls way short of doing any serious programming. The basic concepts of Python can be grasped very soon, and we can then focus on how to use programs to solve problems, good programming practices, etc. -- Thanks & Regards Parag Shah http://blog.adaptivesoftware.biz http://diycomputerscience.com _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
