PRGRAMMING LANGUAGES IN OPEN SOURCE
Dear All, Is there any other programming languages in Open Source that i can teach my students apart from Python? Please may you send me materials on programming languages that can be used in schools for the students. Also i would be happy if programming software are sent to me or links where i can download them.

Tons of languages! GNU C, Java, Scratch, Squeak, GNU Fortran, Lisp, GNU Assembler... And that's just scratching the surface. Most have on-line learning materials that are just a web search away.

As a non-programmer may I suggest Gambas (http://gambas.sourceforge.net/), which is quite a good starting point even if it's not that "scientific" as C, Fortran, etc.

Scratch is a great introduction to programming. Great with primary school kids too http://scratch.mit.edu/ -- Clinton Meyer Grant High School skype: clinton.meyer www.granths.com.au/edwiki

I may have overlooked something on the mentioned project-site, but it seems that Scratch is not free software (?). On the about-page is mentioned, that Microsoft, Intel and other closed source companies are involved with the project. Just a thought of mine, not intended to start an off-topic discussion.

The license for Scratch is http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Scratch_License/License - it looks similar to the BSD license. I suspect that the clause requiring attribution in publishing would make the Scratch license incompatible with the GPL, but not necessarily non-free; however IANAL and the SFD discuss list is not the place for that conversation. There is also the Scratch source code license at http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Source_Code which has additional stipulations.

There is no such thing as a "closed source company". There is only free and proprietary software. Both Intel and Microsoft have produced free software - Intel is a contributor to the Linux kernel, for example. Dave -- Dave Page <grimoire@cultofperf.org.uk> Jabber: grimoire@jabber.earth.li
