Hi List

I have just started to panic!

 I have just been handed a Year 11 ICT class for all of term 3 and have
just finished going through the course outline and realised that we do
not have any programming software on the school network. I am sure I
would be able to purchase some but it would have to be cheap.

Does anyone out there have a series of tutorials that can help me teach
myself and the kids some programming.

I know that this is at late notice but I have reading the year 12 list
and the people on there have been extremely generous.

Thanks in anticipation.

Cheers

Jason Lappin

school.

OK - I confess that, at first, I thought this was a send-up, so I
checked their website. I've read it thoroughly and I'm still none the
wiser. If it IS for real, though, Ananda Agarawala and co appear to be 
post-doctoral graduates of the Microsoft Academy of Vapourware since not
even their FAQ has been written yet. {Well, of course, you can't answer
the frequently asked questions if nobody has had a chance to ask any 
questions at all, such as, for example, "Are you guys for real or
what?"}

That said, though, I rather like the idea. Have you checked out the
parody site? The link is on the "BumpTop" website. 

Hmmmmmm
