At the ori\u00adgin of this les\u00adson is the con\u00adcept of a \u201cpro\u00adgram\u00adming plan\u201d, intro\u00addu\u00adced by Soloway and Ehrlich in 1984. A pro\u00adgram\u00adming plan is a snip\u00adpet of code that repre\u00adsen\u00adts a \u201cste\u00adreo\u00adty\u00adpe\u201d solu\u00adtion to a small pro\u00adblem. An expe\u00adrien\u00adced pro\u00adgram\u00admer adap\u00adts and com\u00adbi\u00adnes the\u00adse \u201cpro\u00adgram\u00adming plans\u201d into com\u00adplex programs.<\/p>\n
More recen\u00adtly, this con\u00adcept has given rise to two tools that can be used in tea\u00adching pro\u00adgram\u00adming: the role of varia\u00adbles and ele\u00admen\u00adta\u00adry patterns.<\/p>\n
For the con\u00adcept of the role of varia\u00adbles, I sug\u00adge\u00adst two articles:<\/p>\n
Choose one! As an intro\u00adduc\u00adtion, they are essen\u00adtial\u00adly equi\u00adva\u00adlent. The fir\u00adst one is from the Sajaniemi group, which pio\u00adnee\u00adred the area for the impe\u00adra\u00adti\u00adve para\u00addigm and here extends the discus\u00adsion to the func\u00adtio\u00adna\u00adl\/o\u00adb\u00adject-orien\u00adted para\u00addigms. The second is from the Sorva group and reports some data on the use of this approach in two uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty cour\u00adses. I\u2019m curious to see how you split over the arti\u00adcles and the opi\u00adnions that form.<\/p>\n
On the micro\u00adpat\u00adtern front, the lite\u00adra\u00adtu\u00adre is less sati\u00adsfy\u00ading. Just take a quick look at the fol\u00adlo\u00adwing article:<\/p>\n
Tracing back to the ori\u00adgins of this line of research, cer\u00adtain\u00adly the arti\u00adcles by Soloway, Ehrlich, and Bonar are among the most inte\u00adre\u00adsting. Unfortunately, the pre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtion of their ideas is frag\u00admen\u00adted across various arti\u00adcles, which, being writ\u00adten in the \u201980s, are also dif\u00adfi\u00adcult to read \u2013 both due to the out\u00adda\u00adted con\u00adstruc\u00adts used and the fact that some are still writ\u00adten with a typew\u00adri\u00adter! An inte\u00adre\u00adsting exer\u00adci\u00adse would be to read them, sum\u00adma\u00adri\u00adze them, and upda\u00adte them, fol\u00adlo\u00adwing a more modern approach.<\/p>\n
The Sajaniemi group has writ\u00adten a lar\u00adge num\u00adber of arti\u00adcles on the topic of varia\u00adble roles. Perhaps too many, in my opi\u00adnion. It would be use\u00adful to have a sur\u00advey that sum\u00adma\u00adri\u00adzes eve\u00adry\u00adthing. Here, I pro\u00adpo\u00adse only a few of them. For a more com\u00adpre\u00adhen\u00adsi\u00adve list, take a look at Sajaniemi\u2019s DBLP<\/span> page<\/a> bet\u00adween 2002 and 2006.<\/p>\n Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n (1) For someo\u00adne of my age, HTML<\/span> sty\u00adle takes you back in time; for the record, one of my pro\u00adfes\u00adsors kept his ori\u00adgi\u00adnal 1994 web\u00adpa\u00adge (when I was a stu\u00addent) until 2015. When he chan\u00adged it, an era ended for me.<\/p>\n (2) However, if you fol\u00adlow some of the pat\u00adterns sug\u00adge\u00adsted in the arti\u00adcle on loop pat\u00adterns, you will be cha\u00adsed by Roberto Sebastiani with an axe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At the ori\u00adgin of this les\u00adson is the con\u00adcept of a \u201cpro\u00adgram\u00adming plan\u201d, intro\u00addu\u00adced by Soloway and Ehrlich in 1984.
