Depending on the age and interest of the student and the languages you plan to teach I can also recommend you Guido van Robot (http://gvr.sf.net/) or RUR-PLE (http://rur-ple.sf.net/) for the first lessons. A GvRng package is available on Debian (I'm the maintainer... ;), if you want to take a look at the lessons they are also packaged or you can view them online on: http://gvr.sourceforge.net/lessons/rfrank/ Greetings, Sergio. -- Sergio Talens-Oliag <sto@debian.org> <http://people.debian.org/~sto/> Key fingerprint = 29DF 544F 1BD9 548C 8F15 86EF 6770 052B B8C1 FA69
