Just wondering through what mechanism those of you using python as your language are having students build UI? Is it web or otherwise platform independent?<br>
I have been using PHP for a few years now, and probably will continue, but I have a number of students in 9-11 taking the Grok NCSS challenge and thought about looking into python as my language. Also, the Algorithmics course mandates python, and I would like
to offer that, although I know that UI is not so important there.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Andrew.<br>
