at the linuxtag i met a KDE developer who is teaching his son c++ his argument was that if he learned pascal he would then have noone to talk to and share code with as there is no pascal community. when i asked the boy what the first program was he has written, he didn't only describe it, but quoted the whole source ;-) from that perspective, i think python might be a good idea, it seems to be easy enough, teaches proper indenting, and there is a strong community behind it. greetings, martin. -- Pike Conference 2003 - Sep 25-27 - http://pike.ida.liu.se/conferences/2003/ -- interested in doing pike programming, sTeam/caudium/pike/roxen training, sTeam/caudium/roxen and/or unix system administration anywhere in the world. -- pike programmer working in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (stuts|black.linux-m68k).org is.(schon.org|root.at) Martin B�hr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/
