TeachScheme, ReachJava

A silent revolution has changed the way computer science is understood and taught. The modern curriculum no longer focuses on the constructs of a language and the state changes in the machine. Instead, programming is taught as a problem-solving process that starts from a thorough understanding of classes of data and objects. The TeachScheme! Project has been at the vanguard of this revolution; the new series is its natural extension to cover a seamless transition to object-oriented design using Java.

Teaching is hard, and getting people to change how they teach is even harder. TeachScheme! (read Teach Scheme, NOT!)

wants to turn Computing and Programming into an indispensable part of the liberal arts curriculum.

There are truly world class folks involved in this effort whom I trust. Though I do not yet understand the depth of this project, I find it fascinating, and inspiring.
