On the topic of HPC Carpentry (which is somewhat different from the original 
topic in this list), I suspect dozens (if not in the low hundreds) of people on 
this mailing list have taught HPC to novices. I have done this for many years 
at various summer schools and in semester-long courses. Consequently, people 
will have dozens of opinions on what to include into an HPC-novice course. For 
example, I think it would be sheer madness not to teach MPI inside a compiled 
language, but that's my opinion.
