| Abstract | The premise of this panel is that most introductory Computer Science courses are too narrowly focused on teaching students a programming language. This is a controversy that has been debated for years, but in recent years seems to have been forgotten. The writers of Computing Curricula 1991 stated:"Many feel that the amount of attention traditionally paid to the syntax of a programming language in the first course is excessive, and ought to be replaced with a more balanced introduction to the discipline. For these reasons, PR: Introduction to a Programming Language is defined as a separate knowledge unit in Part II, but is not a required part of the common requirements. "[1]This panel will present a review of current, typical first year courses and evidence for the case against focusing those courses on the teaching of a programming language. Next, each panelist will present his or her philosophy for a first course, followed by details of the courses at their school that implement their view, and conclude with outcomes and evidence of success of the courses.The panel includes four experienced CS-1/CS-2 educators, two of whom are members of the Computing Curriculum 2001 Pedagogy Focus Group on Introductory Courses and Topics (including the chair), and two of whom are authors of introductory texts that do not focus on teaching a programming language. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
