Hi<BR><br><BR>well children can learn all those stuff at school but programming must be done on a computer and as technology affects our life more more people must learn programming, searching, word processing, etc.....<BR><br><BR>please tell me about those activity IDEs and how to compile with them on OLPC and can a simple child easily get and use them<BR><br><BR>and about physics if more people know how to program OLPC XOs teachers (and maybe physics experts) can help program physics stuff<BR><br><BR>and we can do both things just some people can improve physics things while others increase support for programming languages<BR><br><BR>BTW I love physics and i think it should be better (it's more important than literature and unimportant stuff like that)<BR><br><BR><br><BR><br><div>> To: ahmed_nematallah@hotmail.com<br>> Subject: Re: C\C++ & SDL<br>> From: pgf@laptop.org<br>> CC: devel@lists.laptop.org<br>> Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2011 10:43:56 -0400<br>> <br>
