Re: Teaching "C" to 2006 students??

One thing I've noticed is that most people with very little programming experience tend to know a simple language such as BASIC. I propose that we also make a Pseudo-code to C translator of some type. This won't work for everything of course, but for someone who isn't exactly comfortable with C syntax, they'd just have to type out the logic and have it translated for them. Oh, and also, this is my first year w/ FIRST (I'm currently a junior in High School) and I haven't spent much time on the forums, but I intend to a little more next season. I wouldn't mind helping out with this project because I'm going that have to train a bunch of people to program next year anyway. Good effort, keep up the good work.
