Visualizable Pseudo Programming Language
Overview Selecting a right programming language for introductory CS courses is not an easy task. The pressure to use a commercially successful language can easily be the most significant factor in choosing the language. However, several studies suggest that it is preferable to use language especially designed for teaching. These languages are usually some kind of pseudo languages, defined by the programming educators. The idea of using pseudo language is to keep the syntax of the code as simple as possible so the students can focus on learning the programming concepts, instead of some irrelevant syntactical features. Pseudo languages are usually subsets of existing programming languages, and thus can be used to teach all the basic programming concepts.
