I agree with the subject line. Jeff, the not-very-rich client idea we discussed at PyCon is very much on my mind.
I think I've got a realistic design for a doctest-driven beginners' programming courseware suitable for presenting HHTLCSpy - type materials that can be put together in a week or so with my level of skill. (Or a half-day if I let Ian B in on it... ) That week probably won't happen before early June, but I think I'll have something of immediate interest to you early enough in the summer that we can develop real curriculum in time for next fall. I am also mentoring people in Python here in Chicago, both in an informal ad hoc group and at an inner city high school, largely as a consequence of your influence. It's been a remarkable experience for me! On the other hand, I am absolutely beside myself with enthusiasm for the confluence of Squeak and Python! (See this page in my personal web pages: http://geosci.uchicago.edu/~tobis/squeak.html ) I don't think Squeathon competes with HTTLCSpy ; rather I hope to establish my bona fides in this area by delivering a small package of immediate utility that I hope you will find useful enough to actually use, and soon at that! I think this list can accommodate both near-term and long-term objectives, especially if we eschew hair-splitting and tangential philosophy in favor of useful results both immediate and long-term. mt _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
