If you want to plan a similar curriculum in another language, here's a brief outline of the classes now: 1st year CS: basic i/o, file reading/writing, conditionals, loops, arrays, structures/classes, arrays of structs/classes, a little recursion 2nd Years CS (APCS) - data structures, stacks, queues, linked lists, trees, study of algorithms - like sorting algorithms, study of a large program development- Case Study, more recursion

Just keep in mind that some of us are not using Python in a CS context, even while phasing it in to the standard curriculum. For example: http://www.inetarena.com/~pdx4d/ocn/numeracy0.html (which I just recently completed -- next comes vector algebra). I'm teaching math-science. From my point of view, Python is just another useful notation. You don't even need a computer to read what its doing, but best if you have one, as, unlike pencil and paper algorithms, Python's are self-executing. Kirby
