It'd be probably an epic in itself, but building an open-source CS curriculum might be what it takes to get people interested in .NET over Java (my first CS language), JS, or Python.

I'm gonna sound like a total marketer goon but... what's the elevator pitch for C# over Java or Python?

[snow-jallen]

As someone who teaches an introductory computer science class in c# I would absolutely love this.

[ivdiazsa]

I had my programming introductory course on Python, and then used Java the most. When I tried C# and .NET, I didn't go back to Java. This would definitely be great.
