One shame with JavaScript is its limited approach to being able to include or import other libraries. In a web page though as long as the JavaScript tags are in the right order so that they are included properly it may not be such an issue.
I suppose people need to start with something simple. I would hope thought that they would move on to something more powerful eventually. I think the industry is tending to churn out far to many mediocre programmers these days. As much as starting with C was a really tough learning curve, it is good for separating the wheat from the chaff in terms of those who have the aptitude to be good programmers rather than just mediocre ones. I am glad at least that we aren't talking about teaching using VisualBasic. It is one thing hiding detail for simplicity and another to use a language that teaches bad programming style. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
