Structured Programming in Java

Jeremy Gibbons

Abstract

We argue that for computing majors, it is better to use a `why' approach to teaching programming than a `how' approach; this involves (among other things) teaching structured programming before progressing to higher-level styles such as object-oriented programming. We also argue that, once it has been decided to teach structured programming, Java is a reasonable language to choose for doing so.
