Where'd you go? What'd you find?

Glad it's back up now.. :)

I am considering a teaching position for a code school, after already teaching once before. Students are generally pretty smart, and there is already a substantial amount of learning resources online for the material at hand. However, I still feel like I'm winging it with my teaching skills.

Are there some recommend resources for educating adults, particularly the kind you'd find attending a code school? I'd like to learn some core concepts of education that would improve my approaches.

I'm sure a question like this has been asked plenty of times, and would appreciate any previous HN links.

I'm a fairly experienced engineer, and I'm familiar with low-level and high-level concepts. Like most of us, I am used to picking up news languages frequently.

I have familiarity with C++, and prefer a bottom-up learning approach--I'd really love to avoid chapters on for loops, etc., so that I can dig into what makes C++ unique and powerful.

Any favorites you recommend?
