Touch of Class: How we teach introductory programming
Volvieron los Seminarios, y volvieron con todo!
Esta vez, con un seminario especial. Tenemos el honor de presentar, nada más ni nada menos que, a Bertrand Meyer.
Meyer es el creador del lenguaje Eiffel, es docente de la Universidad de California, del Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. Su libro "Object-Oriented Software Construction" es material de referencia obligatorio para cualquier profesional del mundo de la Programación Orientada a Objetos.
El titulo del seminario es Touch of Class: How we teach introductory programming. Y será dado el día miércoles 11 de febrero. El lugar, el aula magna de Medrano 951, a las 19.00 hs.
Como es habitual en nuestros seminarios no es necesaria inscripción previa ni conocimientos de alguna tecnología en particular.
Se recuerda que el seminario es gratuito.

A continuación, un resumen del seminario en inglés:
Teaching programming faces a host of challenges, due in particular to
the unprecedented variety of student backgrounds and to the demands of
the IT industry. Techniques that worked well in the seventies do not
scale up to today's context. The "concepts or skills?" debate is more
relevant than ever, especially in the ever more globalized world of
software development.
For the past 6 years, we have taught introductory
programming at ETH, based on an "outside-in" approach that makes it
possible to introduce the reality of large software while emphasizing
the principles of sound software development. This approach has resulted
in a forthcoming textbook ("Touch of Class: An Introduction to Programming
Well
With Objects and Contracts", Springer-Verlag, May 2009).
I will present the result of our experience, including metrics that we have
systematically
collected along the way, and draw conclusions regarding how to teach
programming today. I will argue the task consists of
teaching twenty-six seminal concepts, and will explore one of them in depth.
