To Guido and all:
The reading of the "Computer Programminf for Everybody" is a exciting =
experience.=20
During the process, I have the following fragments of thoughts :=20
Education:
1. CP4E will benefit more than programming skills : Like arithmetics, =
(OO) programming will give the brain the training for think and thought. =
The student will be exposed to problem (understanding, description, =
representation, analysis, solving, evaluation and validation).=20
2. Paradigm is (important | danger). This will create mind setting of =
student. (improve | limit) their problem solving ability.=20
3. Cultural independancy should be respected. The promotion of a good =
education would always bordand the gap between the wealth and the poor. =
When python is bound to a english like syntax, it will enlarge the gap. =
It would benefit if different language versions of python can be =
developed to allow localized wording in teaching.
Computing:
4. Python can be benefit from acquisition (Zope like oo storage) and =
visualize presentation (WEB? 3D?), by which
visualize benefit the understanding / improving thinking
Central / emit (the brain ; tree) like (non-linear) organization of =
code
Aspect oriented programming can be archived through acquisition
Index / xref of code help reading understanding
compile upon input
versioning upon input help trace the through which can benefit the =
research and teaching
Turning the buttom - top programming reading into leaf / root =
reading
=20
I may need to explain no. 4 more in details. It just a feeling now that =
organizing the code in a zope like structure with acquisition. The =
interface would compile the code on the fly, create variables and assign =
the initial values. Versioning can benefit the teacher and student to =
review the process instead of just read the resulting code.
A greate project, I especially like the 3D environment. However, in =
education cognitive is more important than computing.
Rgs,
Kent Sin
