Comparing Block-Based and Text-Based Programming in High School Computer Science Classrooms
The number of students taking high school computer science classes is growing. Increasingly, these students are learning with graphical, block-based programming environments either in place of or prior to traditional text-based programming languages. ...
Introducing object-oriented programming into the computer science curriculum
In recent years, object-oriented programming languages and object-oriented program design have become increasingly popular. Dialects of many popular programming languages are now available which support the major concepts of object-oriented programming; ...
