Teaching Programming to Non-Developers

Posted by Cliff on from the illumination-of-the-non-enlightened dept.

Eric asks: "I'm teaching a web application development class at a local public university. The students are seniors in the business program; the course is intended to expose them to development practice (we're using PHP and MySQL) but is not intended to turn them into developers. So what would the Slashdot community recommend within the curriculum? How would you teach web development to the managers of the future, and why?"

    show them what the LAMP model is all about."
    Then show them what the EASY CHAIR model is all about.
    Then the END TABLE model.
    Then the CREDENZA model.
    Etc.
    Also things like the NUMBER 2 PENCIL model, the YELLOW LEGAL PAD model, and so forth.
    You can find models for all of these items, and many other exciting items, at various 3D game mod sites.

    On a more serious note, for those who don't know, "LAMP model" means "Lick-spittle Ass-kissing MBA Prat model".
