[plug] Computing training

[Bret Busby]

Recently, a thread arose, about computer programming training, and the 
dreaded java was mentioned.

On the Red Hat elearning training web site, at 
http://www.redhat.com/training/elearning/ there is a course, under 
General Programming, named Programming Fundamentals, at 
http://www.redhat.com/training/elearning/catalog/courses/programming_fundamentals.html
which includes java. Thus, as was mentioned, there are a few, who regard 
java as appropriate for teaching computer programming.

However, the reputation of the courses, may be marred slightly, by the 
following.

Also, on the Red Hat elearning website, in the Software Requirements for 
other courses, was the requirement "A word processing application, such 
as Microsoft Word." It is interesting, and amusing, that the software 
requirements refer to an MS application, and, specifically to MS Word, 
rather than to either a Linux application, or word processors in general 
(without naming any particular word processors). Perhaps Red Hat regards 
MS Word as better than the Linux word processors?
