iCanProgram.com has been offering online programming courses for nofees since Jan 2002. By most measures it has been a great success with over 2000 students since Jan 2002.

One of the older courses is in need of a "spruce up". This course uses Tcl/Tk to introduce programming to complete beginners. Tcl/Tk was chosen because I knew the language and it is freely available on any OS platform including that dreaded Gatesware.

I'd like to enhance this course material with Python/Tk examples in parallel to Tcl/Tk. Unfortunately, I don't know Python sufficiently well to author this material.

If you are interested in volunteering your talents to this task please contact me off list and we can discuss what I had in mind.

Hi Bob, Others might find this useful so I will respond to the list. There are some good resources for learning Python programming and for learning how to program using Python. The book "Learn to Program Using Python" by Alan Gauld is excellent and would be suitable for anyone. "Learn to Think Like a Computer Scientist" <http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/> is another good resource.
