| Abstract | Early programming experiences often set the threshold for making or breaking future software development professionals. Current software development requires programmers' thorough understanding of modern programming concepts that are multi-tiered and that require a high level of abstractions. While these concepts may have taken years to evolve we require our undergraduate students to grasp them within the first two years of their studies. Fortunately modern software development platforms, such as Dot Net, offer easy to use IDE, readily available libraries, easy connectivity to databases as well as access to multimedia capabilities. Programming instructors can easily incorporate these tools to making intricate and abstract programming concepts appear natural and simple for our students to grasp.The author has experimented with using simple GDI+ provided by Dot Net to illustrate programming abstraction with concrete representations. Common to these programs are graphical demonstrations of intricate programming concepts and/or algorithms, such as sort routines, classes verses objects, inheritance, interface, recursion, threading and multi-threading, events and delegates, etc. Most can be converted or extended to a one- to two-week lab/homework assignment. When students visualize in "actions" what they have programmed, they are more readily inclined to associate concepts with application. "A picture is worth a thousand words", definitely applies here; especially when the "picture" they have created appears in "motion" and is fascinating to view. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
