Section 1

Programming as Problem-Solving

Programming is more than dealing with language syntax and semantics: it is inherently an exercise in problem-solving that extends beyond the act of editing code.

Activities and Actions of Programming as Problem-Solving

Identifying goals Recalling prior knowledge Constructing models Filling knowledge gaps

Understanding the situation

A1

Representing relevant information Contextualizing information Preserving contextual information

Externalizing thoughts & ideas

A2

Translating strategies to actions Tracking progress Evaluating and assessing change

Enacting change

A4

Feedback solicitation Team work Group think Leverage group knowledge Synchronization

Collaborate

A5

Generating alternatives Articulating and refining alternatives Understanding and assessing alternatives Recombining aspects of alternatives

Developing strategies

A3

Reflect on work Preserve work

Retrospect

Programming as Problem Solving

Does the open-ended and free-form interaction paradigm make sense? Are cards the best metaphor for problem solving? Do cards with information on many faces help or hinder? Do cards with different media types make sense?
