hi all, its so nice to know about the FOSS related stuffs going on in Nepal. I was also happy to hear about syllables included in +2 course. But even today in some engineering colleges, Open source softwares are not used while teaching programming languages and other subjects.
They still use Turbo C v 1 to teach C and C++ programming courses (and probably other courses that need programming lab work). and apart from being outdated it is a copyrighted product and is free only for registered users of C++Builder 2007+. I agree that TC can do whatever is taught in undergrad C/C++ courses and i have nothing against TC. but i think GCC (+ other FOSS stuffs) has more to offer to the students. may be the teachers does not want to experiment with new stuffs or some may even don't have expertise. they don't even have to switch to Linux and just use cygwin or mingw in windows. what might be the solution? may be FOSS community can do things like organizing hands on training on how to use those tools? --------------------------------------------------------------- regards Manish Regmi -- FOSS Nepal mailing list: [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] Mailing List Guidelines: http://wiki.fossnepal.org/index.php?title=Mailing_List_Guidelines Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/
