Hi JBV,
I could imagine that first-year students have no or almost no experience
with programming. They might need to get acquainted with concepts such
as abstract thinking, logic, recursion and perhaps GUI design.
Additionally, they will need to learn elementary syntax, and how to use
variables and other containers.
Not very long ago, I announced that I'm working on a new book. While my
current book might be useful --specifically for second-year students--
the new book is probably more suitable for your first-year students.
This new book will deal with all basic concepts mentioned in the above
and leave out all advanced subjects, which a teacher could still add to
the course as a bonus.
I'm looking for people who want to review this book and you might want
to join. Perhaps we can arrange something, so you'll be able to use it
in September.

Hi list,
Starting next september I might have the opportunity to give
a few hours of teaching at the local technology institute for
students in their 1st and 2nd year of learning techniques of
internet, multimedia and programming.
Of course the first idea that crossed my mind was to introduce
them to LC, as a recent discussion with some of their teachers
showed clearly that almost nobody there was aware of it, and
those who knew about LC haven't found the time to test it...
I might be wrong, but the best / most attractive approach seems
to be "code once deploy many"...
Do you guys have some suggestions about what the main
chapters of such a teaching should be ?
I'll also try to find the time to search the archives, as I'm sure
that topic has already been discussed...
Thanks
jbv
