Domptage de serpent pour les enfants

That’s Snake Wrangling for Kids, in French for the linguistically challenged.

Congratulations to Michel for releasing the first non-English edition of SWFK. Awesome effort!
See the project downloads for version 0.0.1.

Spanish edition soon to follow (at least judging from the commits)…

More forums, and a French translation

Tuesday, 31 March, 2009

I’ve finally added a new forum for Snake Wrangling for Kids (python programming book for kids), and another for stomp.py.

Neither pages were attracting a huge amount of comment traffic, but even the small number of comments was becoming unmanageable.

On the SWFK front, it looks like the French translation is approaching completion — the current draft looks brilliant (arguably better than the original). Michel has done an excellent job. This is the first translation, and I’m keen to see more…

SWFK 0.7.7

Monday, 9 March, 2009

I’ve just uploaded the latest version of Snake Wrangling for Kids (verson 0.7.7). This fixes a few minor issues pointed about by readers, and updates the illustrations to higher quality versions (thanks to Michel W). I’ve also, rather belatedly, re-published (is that a word?) the printable version on Lulu.com, which can be found here. At the moment, only the Windows version is available. Once Python3 is *easily* available for Linux and Mac, I’ll add the printable editions for those platforms as well.
