I design and taught an online introduction to programming, with rebol as the medium, last year. I believe the class is going to run again this comming semester. The class was designed with freshman-sophomore students as the target and for a non-programmer, certified instructor. I stress that this was "not" a course on rebol, as much as an introduction. It was written as the first of four, each in a different language (rebol, python, perl, C/C++) I think that the curriculum should designed around the target... but read on...

Now, this is a subtle difference here.. Having rebol instruction for people with exisiting programming experience would help rebol "advance the cause". Perhaps also, a series of "starter kits", ex: Starter kit in CGI: how to put together a working CGI/HTML library. OR "From C" to rebol: I was faced with having to "unlearn" C a little to write rebol Perhaps also, a series of "starter kits", ex: Starter kit in CGI: how to put together a working CGI/HTML library. OR "From C" to rebol: I was faced with having to "unlearn" C a little to write rebol. MTCW (and before my coffee) :>) Good thoughts! Noble objective! tj
