February 2010

English 4 IT has been updated and is now at version 1.5. This release was a refactor or 'code clean up' release. Basically, I went through every line of code improving logic and fixing small bugs. This was necessary before I could start the long-awaited teacher modules. So the work on these can finally begin!

At the same time the teacher modules are being developed, I will try to improve / finish the readings as well. I am amazed when I go through the course I still find typos, errors, and things which could have been done much better ( and will be improved in time I promise ). So as always, please give feedback and continue to recommend / use English 4 IT with your students and friends.

Last but not least, a very happy 2010 to all!

Have fun learning IT,
