Abstract
A newly developed teaching technique designed to help students produce error free code using a block-structured flowcharting method, a block-structured pseudocode, and an implementation language is presented [1]. The posters illustrate how block structure, once established, is maintained in the pseudocode and into an implementation language. The flowcharting method was developed at Draper Labs in connection with the Apollo Program [2].

Language Design for Program Manipulation
The design of procedural and object-oriented programming languages is considered with respect to how easily programs written in those languages can be formally manipulated. Current procedural languages such as Pascal, Modula-2 and Ada; generally support ...
Program Reusability through Program Transformation
How can a program written in pure applicative LISP be reused in a Fortran environment? One answer is by automatically transforming it from LISP into Fortran. In this paper we discuss a practical application of this technique-one that yields an efficient ...
