[Help-glpk] Easiest interface

[Marcin Mucha]

Hi all, not sure if this is the right forum to ask that question, but
will try anyway.

I am planning on doing a short workshop on approximation algorithms,
including LP based methods for talented high school students and I
would like to give them some simple programming tasks to get the
flavour of how LP based methods work. The problem is I will not have
much time and I am wondering if there exists some sort of easy to
grasp interface to glpk, so that you can easily get going in, say,
10-20 minutes, assuming you have a decent grasp of C/C++. I myself use
glpk directly, but I remember that it was a bit hard at the beginning.
Also, maybe a different tool would be a better choice? However we will
postprocess the results of the LP solver, so it is important that the
tool works non-interactively.

Best

Marcin
