| Abstract | First year Computer Science students must face the dual challenge of learning to think algorithmically while simultaneously assimilating the complex and often unintuitive syntax of their first programming language. Mitigating this problem has been an active research area for decades, spawning a number of programming languages intended for students. While some such teaching languages have achieved a measure of popularity, both in the classroom and for general purpose programming, none has achieved ubiquity, which suggests there is no silver bullet. To this end, we present a suite of open source software including (1) a web-based toolkit for developing and modifying teaching languages using parsing expression grammars, (2) C Spot Run, a simple imperative teaching language built with the toolkit and informed by empirical research in intuitive syntax, and (3) a web-based development environment enabling the student to complete programming assignments directly from a web browser, eliminating complicated compiler installation and configuration. These artifacts are the first steps in an ongoing project intended to serve not only as a classroom tool, but also as a platform for the observational and experimental study of programming languages in classroom settings. By analyzing source code and metadata, common syntactic obstacles may be exposed and empirical studies of syntax can be verified in the classroom. |

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.
