Just thought I would get some of your ideas and maybe how you guys teach your new programmers. I would appreciate all the input I can get. I'm trying to make it a s fun as possible for them so that they will stay interested and learn so that when our current programmers graduate we will have good programmers still around. Thanks
Who knows?

Maybe coding will be easier this year.
