I took a cursory look and it seems good. I'd love it if they threw in syntax highlighting though on their example code.

My HS CS class included learning about coaxial Ethernet cabling and dumb terminals (yes, actual amber screen Wyse terminals). I graduated high school in 2002.

My HS CS class was mainly Turbo Pascal & Borland C++ on token-ring networked DOS computers. Graduated in '02.

At least you had a programming class. The computers at my high school didn't even have a compiler.
