Programming Classes
The teachers were very interested in these programs. They all believed
that these will help them a lot in their actual teaching. When being
asked whether they are willing to use Solaris in their OS class, most of
them happily said yes. They also believe Sun Studio will be popular in students who will take the Lab courses on Solaris. We are currently working on the survey stats, and will share
with you when the results are available.
