In the context of computer numerical control (CNC) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM), the capabilities of programming languages such as symbolic and intuitive programming, program portability and geometrical portfolio have special importance. They allow to save time and to avoid errors during part programming and permit code re-usage. Our updated literature review indicates that the curren...

We report on the experience of teaching introductory second semester computer science course on Fundamentals of Computer Science that uses our curriculum How to Design Class Hierarchies 1 and the ProfessorJ programming langugages implemented within the DrScheme programming environment. This comprehensive curriculum for an introductory course is focused on principled design of class based progra...

Teaching how to program independently of teaching a programming language has been recognized as a worthwhile goal in computer science pedagogy, but many have abandoned the goal as being impossible to achieve in practice. Jackson Structured Programming (JSP) is a well-documented and proven program design method that is independent of any programming language. CASE tools have generally been used ...

Learning a program is important for all students, not only students from the field of computer science but fields. Programming languages are different human communication as they have structural forms. This makes it difficult beginners especially non-computer to understand structure programming languages. Therefore, learn and language more effectively, this article focuses on in learning initia...

This award is for the development of curricular materials and software to support the use of the Scheme programming language (a modern Lisp dialect) in undergraduate computer science courses. The exceptional simplicity and power of Scheme that account for its widespread use in computer science research also explain its increasing use in education. To assist in the development and distribution o...

Logic has long set itself the task of helping humans think clearly. Certain computer programming languages, most prominently the Logo language, have been billed as helping young people become clearer thinkers. It is somewhat doubtful that such languages can succeed in this regard, but at any rate it seems sensible to explore an approach to programming that guarantees an intimate link between th...

Programming computers is a complex and constantly evolving activity. Technological innovations have consistently increased the speed and complexity of computers, making programming them more difficult. To ease the programming burden, computer languages have been developed. A programming language employs syntactic forms that express the concepts of the language. Programming language concepts hav...

The latest real-time graphics architectures include programmable floating-point vertex and fragment processors, with support for data-dependent control flow in the vertex processor. We present a programming language and a supporting system that are designed for programming these stream processors. The language follows the philosophy of C, in that it is a hardware-oriented, generalpurpose langua...

We introduce possibly the first approximation of programming language metrics that represent a spectrum over 70 unique and carefully gathered dimensions by which any two languages can be compared. Based on those metrics, one evaluate her own `best' language, to demonstrate how complex feelings such as “simplicity” “easy use”, often found arguments in debates advertisements, decomposed into clea...
