Python Bumps Off Java As Top Learning Language

[Ron Rothman]

Thought this tidbit was worth sharing.

Python has surpassed Java as the top language used to introduce U.S. students to programming and computer science, according to a recent survey posted by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). Eight of the top 10 computer science departments now use Python to teach coding, as well as 27 of the top 39 schools, indicating that it is the most popular language for teaching introductory computer science courses, according to Philip Guo, a computer science researcher who compiled the survey for ACM."

Thanks for sharing, Ron!  That's great - I wonder whether they're using Python 2 or Python 3...
