I really think that Code Testing has become a nightmare. Microsoft just doesn't beleive in new Operating Systems, just see this chart.

Should Students Be Taught With or Without an IDE? 848

Posted by Cliff on Saturday May 20, 2006 @11:50PM from the why-the-zero-sum dept.

bblazer asks: "Beginning this next school year, there is a strong possibility I will be teaching an intro to Java and an intro to Python course at the local community college. I was wondering what the prevailing wisdom is when it comes to teaching languages - should students be taught with or without an IDE? I am a bit old school and wouldn't mind having them all use vi or emacs, but using a good IDE does have some advantages as well. I should note that the students I will be teaching will have had at least 1 semester of programming in VB or C++." Even though there is limited time in a semester, could a curriculum be constructed to accommodate both methods?
