Excellent, award yourself at least two gold stars for initiative. This
is a fine example of how to spread The Word About Euphoria to a wider
audience.
I would also suggest that you include C ( or C++ ) in the course as well
( despite my hate of it ), simply because it is the main programming
language in use commercially, being able to contrast and compare would
reveal its ( and other languages ) strong and weak points. The choice
of language for a particular application depends on which have which
strengths / weaknesses [ Note the debate on Structures recently ].
All the best with the course.
