Abstract
Cornell, like most other large schools, has been struggling with the problem of introductory programming instruction for years. The problem is not yet solved but in the last few years we have done some experimenting and seem to have made some progress. The situation seems worth reporting so that others can perhaps benefit from what has been successful and avoid what has not.
The major problems seem to be
Hence our solution must operate within the constraint of a conventional non-inter-active computer service.

What can we learn by testing a program?
It is conventional to start research papers on software engineering, particularly on testing and software quality, with a statement of how important software has become in the world, and the potential dangers of using it when those who construct it ...
People, events, and technology insertion in the Ada program
TRI-Ada '90: Proceedings of the conference on TRI-ADA '90There are three components of the Ada program that I want to mention in this panel - dedicated people, major milestone events, and technology insertion.
Ada is succeeding because of the participation, hard work, and enthusiastic support by many hundreds ...
