This is great.
Thanks.

Stephen,
I am starting two weeks from tomorrow.
I am still trying to wrap my head about the key goals and projects. It would
be great to share ideas.

Hi
As a beginner, I found creating a Sugar Activity difficult. More difficult
than creating a program to run from Terminal or Pippy. You might get better
value using Pygame and writing something that can run from Pippy. The goal
could be to create more Pippy built in samples.
If you are going to write an Activity, you could give them a 'hello world'
template and get them to build on that rather than starting from the
beginning. Your 'hello world' template could have the basics:a text box for
text entry/display, a canvas for graphical display and an example of
keyboard and mouse capture.
Agreed. Having a template to build on for an Activity would make things much
simpler.
Good luck. Please ask if you need help.
Ditto. When will you start the class? I am also teaching Python to some
kids now, and interested sharing ideas.

Hello.
I have been asked by my school district to teach a one semester course
on
computer programming to some of our high school students. I was already
settled on Python. In my planning, I thought it would be great if the
students built an application for Sugar/XO Laptop. I have, as I think
you
know, been using them in our school for a few years, I think the
transition
from consumer to producer would be great.
I am not a Python programmer, although I understand the basic concepts
and
can muddle my way through. So,here's my question -- what should the
students
know/be able to do in Python before they are able to write an Activity?
Beyond the basics, understanding the concept of classes and
inheritance is pretty essential. Some GTK stuff, but that is pretty
straightforward.

I hope this makes sense. And I appreciate your time.
Best,
Gerald Ardito
