Experience with an analytic approach to teaching programming languages
Through the use of interpreters it is possible to teach programming languages in an analytic way without the mathematical overhead associated with other formal methods. This is a natural evolution of programming language pedagogy from present approaches that are largely descriptive. As a bonus, students receive training in the use of meta-linguistic ion in program design. An example of this approach is presented along with suggested variations and discussion of a number of practical considerations that may be crucial to success in the classroom.
