i know C++ is hard but i find python inefficient and not widely used on the other hand i guess C++ is used by nearly everyone and kids everywhere should know C++ not python as C++ improves the brain :)<BR><br><BR>a C++, python, C, Java, vala, Scala, (maybe C# too) ide with a couple of tuts for each language bundled with the OLPC XO will be great so kids can learn programming<BR><br><BR>I'm really new to this free S/W thing and this is the first time i use mailing lists and I've never improved any Open Source projects so some help with that would be appreciated<BR><br><BR>teaching kids python is good because it is quite easy i know some python but not a lot and if you need any help just tell me (how to help :) )<BR><br><BR>Thank you,<BR>Ahmed Mustafa Nematallah<BR><br><BR><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2011 00:33:19 -0300<br>Subject: Re: C\C++ & SDL<br>From: gonzalo@laptop.org<br>To: ahmed_nematallah@hotmail.com<br>CC: devel@lists.laptop.org<br><br>I think
is unreal compare C/C++ difficult with Python. <br>And we have a lot of work to do to improve our tolls to enable kids to program with Python.<br>But is a free software project.... you can work in this of course :)<br>

Hi<br><br><br>i think OLPC should support programming in C\C++<br><br><br>i'm sure many students can learn to program C++\C and SDL on XO laptops<br><br><br>if you need i can start some simple tuts on SDL and C++ for the OLPC and i can try to help port an IDE for C\C++\Python\etc.... too<br>
<br><br><br><br>another thing<br><br><br>i think AMDs new fusion processors can help make XOs better as they are quite cheap, consume less power (and give less heat) and also they dont need a northbridge as they contain the Graphics chip and memory controller<br>
<br><br>Thank you,<br>Ahmed Mustafa Nematallah<br> </div></div>
