Foil 23 How to teach Programming!

From Master Set of Foils for Two Web Training Presentations DoD Users Group Meeting San Diego -- June 24 1997. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
We teach Perl Java JavaScript SQL PL/SQL HPF Fortran90 and MPI
  • Imbed programming into lectures and support student homework with a Web Interface
HPF Fortran90 and MPI are hardest as need special Web Integration
  • This is Dincer's VPL used by Syracuse and Cornell Virtual Workshop
Other languages are easier to teach because the are more or less Web ready but require some modest technology to properly show students program, data and results
Traditional central displays difficult as often need to "scroll" to see details of a nontrivial program
  • So teach using TangoWisdom broadcast to PC laboratory so that students (with their own machine) can do their own scrolling
