java-programmer, New tutorial web site http://progzoo.net I'm working on a web site to teach Java. http://progzoo.net/

I think it is unique or at least unusual in that students can compile
and execute their code from the text box - and find out immediately if
they are right or wrong.

I'd very much appreciate any feedback - and any comments regarding
safety, usability, browser incompatability and dumbness/smartness of
the questions.

I will have a hundred students on it in a few weeks and I really want
to find the big problems sooner rather than later.

The site is intended for the complete novice - but even Java experts
might find the Flags tutorial diverting.

java-programmer >> New tutorial web site http://progzoo.net Andrew- I like the links and refs. You might want to run it past some
of the people at javaranch that have more experience than I do in
reaching beginners. They have a "cattle drive" at javaranch.com, where
they teach newbies to code using a series of structured lessons and
code reviews from volunteer instructors. One of their code reviewers,
or "nitpickers" would be a good resource for you.
