<p>I already mentioned some stuff on this thread but I just came across this and I think it's pertinent to the topic in question.</p>

An article in May's "Linux Journal" mentions a site called "Software<br>
Carpentry" <a href="http://software-carpentry.org/about/ninety-second-pitch/" target="_blank">http://software-carpentry.org/about/ninety-second-pitch/</a> which<br>
aims to teach scientists how to program.<br>
<br>
A noble aim, but they spoil it by picking Python as the language of<br>
instruction. How can we show them the error of their ways, apart from<br>
referencing the role of Perl in bioinformatics?<br>
