RE: [LUG] OT: FUD spreading at University of Plymouth?

["James Wonnacott" <jwon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We were having a discussion on this topic today at the school where I
work. Some of the students want to start to learn some programming: 
we have staff willing to learn and want to know what language to use. As
we have a system where most of our PCs will boot into Linux or windows I
suggested using a C on Linux, however the question which arose was what
help/ teach youself/getting started is there. I'm not a progammer myself
and have no experience of using C but said I'd post 
on this list for any advice you could give.
I'm trying to increase the use of Linux here and demonstrate its
advantages so please, any help would be great.

Thanks
