raise the burden of teaching many languages in full
depth and achieve easier debugging. Our
environment will reside in one of our department
servers and will be accessible remotely, while all the
implemented code will be available as a download.
We select to fully respect the existing open
standards, as regards browser compatibility, and we
expect significant student difficulties in the matters
of problem solving abilities. This is why we intend
to “nurse” them in a controlled environment and rely
heavily on semi-complete code fragments. On the
other hand, we will include a full-scale web
application as a final project, and we intend to tempt
our students with 2 nation-wide contests about new
business ideas: the most prominent ideas will be
formulated to produce the project of the class.
As a conclusion, with this paper we wish to
communicate our findings and remarks and state our
intention in developing a new environment that will
aim in teaching web programming through new
methods. The expected discussion from the
community will help us formulate our final decisions
and open a research area in addressing web
programming models with new tools such as those
found in microworld environments.
