ABSTRACT
SIGCSE 2004 marked the official announcement of the ACM Java Task Force, which is working to develop a stable collection of pedagogical resources that will make it easier to teach Java to first-year computing students. The Java Task Force has received funding from the ACM Education Board, the SIGCSE Special Projects Fund, and the National Science Foundation (NSF Award DUE-0411905). This session offers an update on the work of the Java Task Force over the past year and provides an opportunity for community feedback prior to the publication of the final report in June 2005.

In recent years, the languages, paradigms, and tools used to teach computer science have become increasingly complex. This added complexity puts pressure on designers of introductory courses, who must cover more material in an already overcrowded ...
