[Edu-sig] Python as a CS1 language: Reference(s)?

[Brad Miller]

Hi,

We use Python in CS1 and CS2 at Luther College (IA, USA)  We are in  
our second year with Python and are very pleased.

As long as we are on the topic I will take this opportunity to  
announce that there will be a special session at SIGCSE '06 in  
Houston on teaching introductory CS with Python.  I hope that many of  
you on this list will be able to make it.  We hope to have a chance  
to compare notes and talk about what works what doesn't and what the  
future may bring.

Brad
