We think that it is relevant to our community, since it concerns particularly programming languages teaching, but in the long run, the entire programming activity area. All the best Therese Hardin and Pierre Weis --------------------------------------------- Dear Colleagues ACM's and IEEE's joint task on curriculum development has released its "ironman draft" proposal for a new core curriculum in computer science. The draft allocates six hours to the area of programming languages, relegating it to third-class status. I have written a letter of protest and ask for your support. Please visit my Web site where I have posted the letter and where you can find some additional information on the topic: http://www.cs.rice.edu/~matthias/cc2001.html Regards -- Matthias Felleisen ---------------------------------------------
