==================================================================
I'm in the midst of setting up a series of 4 semesters of on-line high-school
course on programming.
Python is second semester.
The fourth, I intend to get into some network programming like simple
client-server communications. It will be project based.
I intend to do my own r&d for this with "Linux Socket Programming" by Warren
Gay as the example book.
The Project Case will be a server written in C processing requests from any of
the "scripting languages" that were covered in the 3 previous semesters. Rebol,
python, and perl.
I've only committed to the socket part being linux compatible, but I am going
to check out whether cygwin would enable such a server to run from a windows
machine.
=====================================================================
It is likely that this topic is off of the subject of the python Tutor mailing
list, but anyone who wants to correspond with me on this issue is welcome to.
I plan to start in by next tuesday. (March 13).

Regards
