Hi, I just stumbled over the page "Lernsoftware" in the German Skolelinux Wiki. Or better, I stumbled over the Netbeans page, and saw that it's categorized as "Lernsoftware" for informatics.
In my opinion, NetBeans and other IDE's that are not especially built in order to help people learning the language, is not something that should be recommended to teachers to help them teach pupils. IDE's as Netbeans are tools made for the experienced programmer, and as these they hide some of the complexities from their users in order to make programming more efficient. But, when learning a language, students must learn about exactly these complexities, and only if the know them well, they can use such an IDE in a good way. Netbeans is juszt one example, there are some more things in this list that are a bit "misplaced" - they should appear in a special section of that page, if at all. But I wanted to discuss this here before editing the pages at my will... Henning -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
