[Sugar-devel] Idea for a New Activity in Sugar: To code and run C, C++ programs

[Flavio Danesse]

Yo pienso que vale la pena hacerlo, pero pensando más en alumnos de
secundaria que de primaria, pero yo le agregaría buena documentación y
tutorials.

Sin lugar a dudas no va a ser una aplicación de uso masivo, pero
enriquecería el entorno de los chicos, yo me animo hacer experiencia en el
uso con mis alumnos.

Yo pienso que tienes que hacerla, tu aporte es bienvenido.



I think it's worth doing, but thinking more high school students of
primary, but I would add good documentation and tutorials.

Undoubtedly it will not be an application for mass use, but enrich the
environment of the children, I encourage you to experience using with my
students.

I think you have to do it, your input is welcome.
