That sounds good.

I think the 'programming fundamentals' should be able to be picked up 
'on-the-fly' or at most, explained further over liquid stimulation 
later. Most people should have had a bash experience. And those that 
haven't had a bash can still enjoy a flavour.

A brain teaser perl to finish off with could be good for stimulating 
additional liquid stimulants to flow freely (:-))
