Computer Programming for Everybody

This is the home page for the Computer Programming for Everybody (CP4E) project.

Many people are eager to discuss CP4E. The educational side of CP4E is generally discussed in the Python in Education Special Interest group (edu-sig). The software side is often discussed in the IDLE Development mailing list.

CP4E Timeline

• Until the summer of 2000 we are working on creating classroom materials for an introduction to programming using Python, and on building a school-friendly version of IDLE (the Python Integrated DeveLopment Environment; see the IDLE release page for the latest version).

• We expect to be teaching using these materials on some schools in the Washington, DC area in the last semester of 2000.

• We are confident that we will get a second round of funding starting October, 2000.
