Abstract: We in computer science education have long argued about how to start the first course. "If they just see X first, they will understand everything in terms of "X". [...] I don't know if any of those beliefs about "what students need to know first" were once true, but I'm quite confident that none of them are true today. There is no first.

Mark Guzdial greift in seiner Kolumne die immer wieder diskutierte Frage auf, wie man in ein Themengebiet der Informatik einsteigen soll. Speziell im Programmierunterricht stellt sich die Frage, mit welcher Programmiersprache und mit welchen Programmierparadigma der optimale Einstieg erfolgen soll.
