Re: [PLUG] Educational Languages

I have the feeling no one else on this list is going to agree with me 
but I'm just out of high school and the languages we were taught in our 
cs classes were java and C++. Currently the AP Board has java for AP 
computer science so for your students (I am assuming these are high or 
middle school students) so starting them on java could be beneficial for 
them later if they decide to take the ap cs exam. --Alex Launi
