Visual programming with Java; an alternative approach to introductory programming

Year: 1997

Type: article

Abstract: The appearance of the programming language Java and visual programming environments based on this language give new opportunities to teach introductory programming to university students. The authors are working on a new set of programming courses starting with Visual Programming. In this course the possibilities of visual programming environments are used to teach programming in an application oriented way with more emphasis on building user interfaces and using standard class libraries. Less attention is paid to algorithms. Because the applications in the course are of general interest, the course is suited for a broader audience than computer science students only.
