  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

    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
