riverman writes "I have been "provisioned" at the school where I work to teach a new Computer Science/Programming course. I'm supposed to be teaching everything from the very-very basics (i.e. where that myspace thing is in your computer monitor, and how it knows who your friends are) to the easy-advanced (i.e. PHP classes and Python/Google App Engine). I'm an experienced programmer, but I'm not sure where to start — I could easily assume that my students know something basic they don't. Are there any resources on the interwebz that could help me with the course, curriculum wise? What are your suggestions?"

  • When you learn more about how to teach programming I'd be interested in your thoughts (and others) on the best way to learn programming. I've had some experience with visual basic and C++ (quite a while ago) but will soon ake a new course in OOP. As I recall Do loops, for next, arrays were all things I had trouble with. I need to perform well in this class so any advice offered would be very cool.
