A Computational Science Agenda for Programming Language Research [PDF]

Procedia Computer Science, 2014
AbstractScientific models are often expressed as large and complicated programs. These programs embody numerous assumptions made by the developer (e.g., for differential equations, the discretization strategy and resolution). The complexity and pervasiveness of these assumptionsmeans that often the only true description of the model is the software ...

Teaching UbiComp with Sense [PDF]

, 1996
Modern computer science education has to take account of the recent changes towards smart ubiquitous computing devices. In addition, existing programming languages are needlessly difficult for novice programmers to learn concepts. We have developed Sense,

Introductory Computer Science Course by Adopting Many Programming Languages

Anais do XXXII Simpósio Brasileiro de Informática na Educação (SBIE 2021), 2021
Teaching programming logic by means of a single Programming Language (PL) may lead the whole process to a particular syntax and specific libraries. In order to let every student choose their preferred PL we have developed a method that includes didactic material in many PLs by means of notebooks in Colab.

Visual and Textual Programming Languages: A Systematic Review of the Literature [PDF]

, 2017
It is well documented, and has been the topic of much research, that Computer Science courses tend to have higher than average drop out rates at third level. This is a problem that needs to be addressed with urgency but also caution.

Several types of types in programming languages [PDF]

, 2015
Types are an important part of any modern programming language, but we often forget that the concept of type we understand nowadays is not the same it was perceived in the sixties. Moreover, we conflate the concept of "type" in programming languages with
