Lemme up the ante. Before starting a course students should design and assemble a computer they'll be learning to program on.
Oh and while we are at it please prohibit all languages with automatic memory management, safe arrays, range checking etc. etc. Real programmers code by flipping switches.
- Ekaros 5y agoWhy not build it from ground up. That it first have them learn physics, without teaching them calculus, and expecting them to figure that one out themselves. Next they can learn semi-conductors. Then gates and so on. Why not have them design their own CPU and assembler, ofc, never giving them tools for this... Once they have some working system, we can move to things like data structures.
