I was thinking about that for a while. It might be good for me to get<br>
some teaching experience with a well meaning audience.<br>
<br>
I program in C/C++ and PYTHON, which combines the best of two worlds.<br>
Which language to teach? C has a bunch of important concepts (arrays,<br>
pointers) which PYTHON is hiding from you. So learning C gives you a<br>
better education, because you understand what python is doing for you.<br>
PYTHON is much more useful to the average IT girl or guy after the class.<br>
<br>
I wonder if one could do both in one class and not confuse everybody.<br>
What do you think?<br>
<br>
I could also give a talk about backyard beekeeping (a little but off-topic).<br>
