I've always thought that some online programming classes would be a cool idea. But I just don't have the time for many pet projects lately.
If you DO manage to get the ball rolling... you should setup a partnership. I worked for a company that is huge in the area of online education and could potentially broker a deal with them to distribute/buy the assets when they're near completion. If that happens the contributors would make some wads of cash. The company, a leader in online education, does not have any software that teaches technology such as programming, and I'm sure they know that they need it in their portfolio. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Colburn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2005 12:05 PM Subject: Looking for an Instructor & Course ... > Hi all -- > > Delphi is a wonderful language--in fact, I can't figure out why anyone > would > choose C++ when Delphi is around!
