teaching Clean to undergraduate students

[Matt Fairtlough]

Dear Clean users,

We are going to teach Clean to 120 first year undergraduate students
for the first time next September, and I will be one of the lecturers.

I understand that Clean is taught at Nijmegen (if I am right, I would
be interested to know at which level it is taught), and I wonder if
there are any suitable teaching materials for a first programming
course for first year students?  We have studied all the material on
the support page (language report, draft of book on FP in Clean,
Brazilian tutorial) but none is directly suitable, although of course
there is quite enough material to prepare such a course.  We will need
a guide to the basic syntax and commonly used library functions, with
plenty of programming examples, and also a beginner's guide to using
the IDE and writing simple Clean programs that is rather more
extensive than the online help, as many students will have no
programming experience at all.

If anyone can help with this, our department would be much obliged.

Matt.
