New from edu.netbeans.org: A new Java course is available

Hi all!

If you go to the Edu site, http://edu.netbeans.org/, you will find that 
the first part of "Introduction to Programming" has been made available 
there. This is a course created by a team of Java instructors in the 
Philippines. The course outline, teacher's manual, student's manual, and 
all related NetBeans projects are available for you to use in the classroom.

The course is aimed at complete newbies, not only newbies to Java, but 
newbies to programming. If you have a group of students who fall into 
that category, hop over to http://edu.netbeans.org/ and download the 
courseware and use them as much or as little as you like.

The Java instructors from the Philippines will be joining this mailing 
list in the coming week, so you could also give them feedback on the 
course, if you like.

And, if you have similar materials to share with other instructors, drop 
a line to this mailing list to let us all know. A wish list is also 
available -- either for your ideas for the edu.netbeans.org site or for 
listing topics that you would like to have teaching materials about:

Thanks and have a good weekend,
