A program like this is already in effect at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and has been for years. Bill Howe and I taught a new intro programming class this summer, aimed at enabling students to write programs that process real-world data. Unit Three: Control Structures. This introduction to programming places computer science in the core of a liberal arts education. How To Design Programs - An Introduction to Programming and Computing - A free book that provides an introduction to programming using Racket (a dialect of Scheme). Unit Four: Designing a Program. In one sense, our class was like any other introduction to computer programming: we taught students the syntax and semantics of a programming language, and more importantly taught computational thinking, such as how to Test design, coverage, & adequacy; Debugging strategies: divide & conquer, the scientific method. Also, the author completes the book by guiding the reader through the steps of creating graphics and games in the python language. A Playful Introduction to Programming. Unlike other introductory books, it focuses on the program design process. There is also another book about programming (with scheme, too): How to Design Programs: An Introduction to Programming and Computing (freely available at: http://www.htdp.org ). I would recommend this book to Introducing children to programming will develop their skills to think logically, troubleshoot electronic devices as well as computer programs, and provide them more options to automate routine tasks. Unit One: Getting Started (course intro, writing a simple program, overview of computers and programming).
