- If you really want to use C++ as the introductory course to CS, maybe you
- should be thinking about teach them the windows based C++ programing. Of
- course, you should not tell them about the API or the
- Define/Register/Create/Message Loop process since they would have a lot of
- trouble with these. Just teach them how to use the AppWizard for the whole
- semester. :)

- P.S. I think Pascal is the best choice and that is the process most of us
- have gone through.
