But Pascall? PASCAL? Are you kidding? As an educator one of the most
important thing to teach our kids to to be prepared to change and learn new
things in the course of their work life.
Both my brothers are professional programmers. They are always learning new
languages. But what kind of example do educators set if we are still
teaching Pascal!
Sorry guys Pascal didn't it make it! Although of course we can say it's
really close to C--but then learn C!
Why not teach C, C++ or to start in high school Visual Basic--a wonderful
full and commerically useful language? Even Q-Basic or Apple Scripting are
both easy to use free languages that come with either operating system.
