Subject: computer programming course

Hi Jim, perhaps you can point me in the right direction. I inherited our high school's computer programming class this year. We currently teach Turbo Pascal, but there has been some discussion about changing to C++ , Visual Basic, or some other more current language. Any idea how I might go about getting feedback from others who might help me determine which program would be the best for teaching beginning programmers? Am also interested in finding out about course materials that would support whatever we choose. Finally, is there a recommended place to purchase network version of the software within a school's budget? Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
