[Noisebridge-discuss] A complaint from Rwanda

Hello All,
Tomorrow I start teaching - wait for it - Visual Basic!!!!  Not .NET, VB.

Per the unified Rwanda curriculum for IT high school students I  am to 
teach a language which reached 'end of extended support' a half decade ago.

By the way, one objective is:

  * Define an events oriented language.  Do people still use that
    terminology?  What would be a modern event oriented language?
  * Compile and execute a program in Visual basic.  Many years ago when
    I dealt with the language it was an interpreted language, not
    compiled.  I wonder if something changed?  I will try to look that
    one up.


fwiw, this is the same official curriculum that requires students to 
answer on the geography standardized exam that the US is made of 52 states!



If anyone has any suggestions for me, I am happy to hear them.

My best to you all,
Claudia
