Abstract

We argue that for computing majors, it is better to use a 'why' approach to teaching programming than a 'how' approach; this involves (among other things) teaching structured programming before progressing to higher-level styles such as object-oriented programming. We also argue that, once it has been decided to teach structured programming, Java is a reasonable language to choose for doing so.

A Domain-Theoretic Model Of Nominally-Typed Object-Oriented Programming

The majority of contemporary mainstream object-oriented (OO) software is written using nominally-typed OO programming languages. Extant domain-theoretic models of OOP developed to analyze OO type systems miss crucial features of these mainstream OO ...
What Is Object-Oriented Programming?

The meaning of the term 'object oriented' is examined in the context of the general-purpose programming language C++. This choice is made partly to introduce C++ and partly because C++ is one of the few languages that supports data abstraction, object-...
From objects-first to design-first with multimedia and intelligent tutoring
ITiCSE '05: Proceedings of the 10th annual SIGCSE conference on Innovation and technology in computer science education

"Objects-first" is an increasingly popular strategy for teaching object-oriented programming by introducing the concepts of objects, classes, and instances before procedural elements of a programming language. Still, this approach emphasizes coding ...
