[NTLUG:Discuss] "Computer Programming for Everybody" Project, in Python

[Jeff Rush]

A new project is starting that will work to get Python programming,
at a new level, into the high schools.  Although I'm skeptical that
-everyone- can learn to program, the paper at the URL below
makes a good case for why and how to do it.

And of course, I'm for anything related to Python... <grin>

>Our plan has three components: 
>
>    Develop a new computing curriculum suitable for high school and college students. 
>    Create better, easier to use tools for program development and analysis. 
>    Build a user community around all of the above, encouraging feedback and self-help.
