No se enseñara mas C/C#/PHP (UK): Delphi? SI!

[mamcx]

Tal como reporta http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/05/12/aqa_c_php/

La junta administradora educativa en el Reino Unido (UK - Gran Bretaña) a descalificado la enseñanza (para los cursos introductorios) de C/C#/PHP y solo certifica a:

Java, Pascal/Delphi, Python 2.6, Python 3.1, Visual Basic 6, VB.Net 2008

La razon principal:

The board "highly recommended" switching to Pascal/Delphi because it is stable and was designed to teach programming and problem solving.
....
....
The Computing A Level is not intended as a programming course but a course that covers the fundamentals of computing of which programming (and problem solving) form a key component.

Tambien menciona que aunque certifca a Java, recomienda no usarlo en los niveles introductorios (me recuerda a Los riesgos de quedar mutilado, dañado o perdido de las escuelas Java:

Teachers planning to use Java are warned that many universities are considering dropping it from their first year computer science programmes, "as has happened in the US"
