All of my posts have been disappearing, we'll see if this one gets through.
The problem I see with the Cambridge examples is students don't LEARN anything
about what they're programming on. They're given a bunch of magic recipes and
don't learn what they're for. What you end up with is what you
could have done with 10 lines of Z80 assembly talking to a terminal through a
UART, but in the example you have to make your own terminal, talking to a big
blob of USB stack and graphics coprocessor glue.
