Not a topic, but a technique... (and this was not my idea, a friend mentioned it one time as a teaching aid) Step 1: Have everyone in the class write a non-tivial program and get it working. Step 2: Have everyone in the class hand their program to the person on the right (or left) and ring shift (last guy on row takes to first guy on row). Step 3: Have everyone in the class make a non-trivial change to the program just handed them. Ground rule 1: the original developer is dead, no help, only comments in the code to go with Ground rule 2: nobody in the class knows in advance that this is comming If this isn't real world, in any language, then I don't know what is. ;-) =========================================================== R.
