Abstract
During 1996/1997 the authors were involved in writing an introductory programming course for distance learning, based on Java and visual programming. In the fall of 1997 the course material was used both at the Dutch Open University and at Delft University of Technology. In this paper we report on our experiences in first using the course material.

Modula-2 versus Java as the first programming language: Evaluation of students' performance
CompSysTech '16: Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Computer Systems and Technologies 2016The choice of the first programming language in computer science curricula is a complex multi-faceted issue that needs to be addressed from multiple points of view. In this paper we adopt the perspective of the teacher, and after surveying factors such ...
Structured programming in Java
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 ...
