- I use MW codewarrior C. In my opinion you should probably teach C and
- not C++. Pascal, although the syntax isn't as rigid, isn't used as much
- any more and chances are if you were going to do a lot of programming with
- other people you would have to do it in C. There is also more C source.
- As far as money goes, I think MW has a significant academic discount
- for their Academic CodeWarrior. like $99 or something.
