Many thanks, Greg! I just ordered it. I believe that this is a brave effort to the community, especially for new carpentry instructors like me.

Some of the people involved have asked for a printed copy of the material, so I have cut down the training materials as they were in January to make a short booklet. It is now available at cost from: http://www.lulu.com/shop/greg-wilson/how-to-teach-programming-and-other-things/paperback/product-23200026.html (Or rather as close to "at cost" as Lulu will allow - it insists that I make a profit of $0.02 per copy, which I will use to buy stickers every once in a while.) I'm using it in some more classes over the summer, and I'll report back after the August release about whether it might be worth doing something like this more generally. I hope some of you will find it useful, and if anyone else is using some or all of the Carpentry instructor training for non-researchers, please give me a shout - I'd welcome a chance to compare notes. Cheers, Greg -- If you cannot be brave – and it is often hard to be brave – be kind. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.software-carpentry.org/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.software-carpentry.org/listinfo/discuss -------------------------------------------------------------------- Un o’r 4 prifysgol uchaf yn y DU a’r orau yng Nghymru am fodlonrwydd myfyrwyr.
