TLDR
The GNOME environment is described, lessons learned in adapting structure editors to novice programmers are recounted, and its effectiveness as a teaching environment is discussed.Abstract:
Structure editors have frequently been used as powerful and unifying interfaces for programming environments in computer science research settings. Few, however, have found their way into common use. GNOME is an attempt to channel the experience gained in the use of structure editing for software development environment research of the Gandalf Project into a practical novice programming environment. Based on a family of structure editors, it is currently being used to teach programming to undergraduates at Carnegie-Mellon University. This paper describes the GNOME environment, recounts lessons learned in adapting structure editors to novice programmers, and discusses its effectiveness as a teaching environment.read more

The Cornell program synthesizer: a syntax-directed programming environment
Tim Teitelbaum,Thomas Reps +1 more
TL;DR: The Cornell Program Synthesizer demands a structural perspective at all stages of program development and its separate features are unified by a common foundation: a grammar for the programming language.
Book
Karel the Robot: A Gentle Introduction to the Art of Programming
TL;DR: Karel the Robot as mentioned in this paper is a literal-minded robot whose built-in capabilities allow him to explore his world and manipulate simple objects in it and introduce a programming language, which emphasizes logical deduction and spatial reasoning rather than calculation and algebraic reasoning.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Incremental Programming Environment
R. Medina-Mora,Peter H. Feiler +1 more
TL;DR: An incremental programming environment (IPE) as discussed by the authors is based on compilation technology, but providing facilities traditionally found only in interpretive systems, such as support for a single programmer working on a single program.
Programming Environments Based on Structured Editors: The MENTOR Experience,
TL;DR: This note discusses the MENTOR program manipulation system, from the following points of view: the main design decisions made in MENTor; the authors' experience with building and using a PASCAL programming environment based on MENTSOR; and the authors's vision of a complete programming environment.
