create the essay assignments

And rewrite the topics

I can put these all together later, but @nicklalone do you have any strong feelings about what you would change about the content?

[elliewix]

Right now I'm thinking:

1. Python vs Java vs R (and longer)
2. The IDEs one, with an added discussion on what does it mean to be an IDE versus other environments
3. File reading approaches, patterns, and the read/line/s essay.

OK, looks like these are created, and what remains is putting together the prompts and directions. This can wait until next week. @nicklalone I'd like to meet with you to discuss these direction before putting that together.
