I came to Python totally unaware of CP4E! It is only *weeks* after I started my project that I came accross CP4E. (I have been programming in Python for less than a year; so *weeks* is a long time :-) > Much more important to me then, and much more important to me now, than how > easy or not easy the effort is the extent to which the effort is worthwhile. > Agreed!

I had fun programming in Python (after having been away from computer programming for *years*) almost right away! Confession: before I stumbled upon Python, I considered buying Micromedia Flash and use that environment to teach my kids about programming. Flash looks like fun to me; but I've never tried it. > > I guess someone, someplace might find Java more fun than Python - but I can > only bet that someone has crooked teeth or something. If this were on comp.lang.python, I think it would be a strong contender for the Quote Of The Week :-) André _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
