Factor analysis of comprehension states in the learning phases of a programming language
Proceedings Sixth Asia Pacific Software Engineering Conference (ASPEC'99) (Cat. No.PR00509), 2003Presents an experiment in understanding how learners of the Java programming language comprehend its concepts, such as classes, inheritance, interfaces, etc., in lectures and exercises. The authors used an empirical technique to test conjectures about how we learn the programming language. Usually, observations about how we learn a programming language

Proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Program Comprehension, 2014
In recent years, the programming language design community has engaged in rigorous debate on the role of empirical evidence in the design of general purpose programming languages. Some scholars contend that the language community has failed to embrace a form of evidence that is non-controversial in other disciplines (e.g., medicine, biology, psychology,

Plans: Human Factors in the Design of a Computer Programming Language
Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting, 1974Conventional computer programming languages have proven inadequate for use in the solution of complex resource allocation and scheduling problems. A new programming language, PLANS, is described. The emphasis in the design of PLANS is not on specialized scheduling commands, but on provision of appropriate basic data structures for scheduling problems.

Functional programming languages, which emphasize a paradigm in which code modules return a value, have traditionally been used primarily in research and academia rather than in commercial software development and testing. This paper presents the results of a case study which investigated the use of a functional programming language for writing ...
