Maybe they should use Ruby, why not start with the most enjoyable programming language ever created? :)
I just think that given JavaScripts wide availability on so many platforms, its key role in web development, it is the 'new Java'. You can teach basic CS things in any language, why not do it in the language that will probably be present in most aspects of modern day development? Its the combination of wide usage (from client to server to cloud to embedded and on and on) plus its importance in todays web- centric world that really tilts things in JavaScripts favor. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
