Motorola's Metrowerks today announced rollout of its CodeWarrior software development tools at nearly 3,000 of the Indian Computer Institute Association (ICIA) member institutions. The schools are using CodeWarrior development tools to teach students Java programming, as well as programming for the Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems. Metrowerks has also developed a series of instructor-led video courses for the ICIA covering Java programming and object technology.

    What do you mean give?

    The term 'give' is very fuzzy. Do the mean give as in 'free' or do they mean give as in 'delivered to'?

    If 'free', does Metrowerks do this for American schools too?

    Either way, if I was a Metrowerks programmer (fortunately I'm not), I'd be worried about why they are so eager to grow a foreign interest in using their tools. Maybe, they want to ship the whole operation overseas eventually.

    That makes no sense. Codewarrior is a development platform - being able to use the tools does not mean you can make the tools.

    Although you have a point. A lot of western software development is being transferred to India, presumably due to the cheap labour rates.

    "That makes no sense. Codewarrior is a development platform - being able to use the tools does not mean you can make the tools."

    Actually, it does make sense. CodeWarrior's IDE, PowerPlant , Constructor, and other tools are built using CodeWarrior. Learning the tools is just step 1, but it's the big step.

    Hey, I wish someone was doling out development platforms when I was going to school (circa 1990). I would have loved free MPW or Think C (which I paid mucho bucks for)!

    Overseas Labor

    Cool! Now I'm that much closer to being replaced with cheap overseas programmers! Thanks Metrowerks!

    overseas labor

    Mmm let me see, you dont like the fact that someone else can do the same job as you for much less, and still live a fulfilling life (which then again you probably dont), seeing as the price of life will be cheaper there...

    that's CAPITALISM boy, learn to live with it, after all you exported it to the rest of the world...

    As cheap as foreign tools

    may be, they'll never undercut free ones.

    Project Builder and Interface Builder from Apple Computer, Inc. (heard of them?) are FREE!

    I bought CW5 and would never consider upgrading as long as they continue on their present course. Cocoa runs rings around PowerPlant, partly because Objective-C kicks C++'s keester! Since PB is built around gcc, there are plenty of free tools available to help developers. MW is going to have to adopt Cocoa and throw in a whole h*** of a lot of bells and whistles to get me to even think about them again.

    PB and IJ free

    Oh boy, dont you learn anything,

    OK Interface builder and Project builder are free right now, but that's just because Apple wants people to develop for their platform.

    Give it a couple of years, when you and many others are completely dependent on them (and Obj-C, because no-one else in the world is going to develop for something so proprietary), and then they will start charging you $1000 a year, even for the smallest developer.

    This is the new apple, be warned!

    They weren't free

    The tools were not given away for free to the ICIA, they were sold.
