Oberon is a small, simple and difficult programming language. The guiding principle of Oberon was a quote from Albert Einstein: "Make it as simple as possible, but not simpler". Oberon language is based on few fundamental concepts that are easy to understand and use. It supports two programming paradigms: the procedural paradigm, and the object-oriented paradigm This paper provides the application of Halstead's software science theory to Oberon programs. Applying Halstead's metric to the Oberon language has provided the analysis and measurements for module and within module maintenance complexity of programs written in Oberon. This type of analysis provides a manager or programmer with enough information about the maintenance complexity of the Oberon programs. So they can be aware of how much effort they need to maintain a certain Oberon program. The maintenance complexity of the programs written in Oberon or any other language is based on counting the number of operators and operands within the statements of the tested program. The counting process is accomplished by a program written in C language- Results are obtained, analyzed, and discussed in detail.

Industries evolve. Our thinking changes as well. Programming languages need evolvement too. “The thing is that ideas for new features with its ways of thinking will be flourished, and so perfectly designed those languages won’t be perfect anymore.” Where did logical programming go? “Notice that you can use this paradigm and just provide a set of constraints for a website and expect the website to develop automatically based on them.” It is possible to implement that. Likewise, new paradigms will sooner or later be born. It can’t be that we’ve explored everything. “Technologies are born likewise the old way of thinking, which represents by the previous programming languages might not be adequate. This project is an open-source modern object-oriented programming language that aims to bridge the gap between modern expressive programming paradigms like python and strictly typed rigid languages like Java and C#. Our goal is to provide the usefulness of an object-oriented programming language while holding the simplicity of an expressive programming language without having to sacrifice performance.

Straipsnyje aptariami klasikiniai istoriškai susiformavę programavimo mokymo organizavimo aukštosiose mokyklose metodai, analizuojami jų trūkumai ir pateikiami siūlymai, kaip šių trūkumų būtų galima išvengti įdiegus integruoto pagrindinių koncepcijų mokymo programą. Dažniausiai tokias mokymo programas siūloma realizuoti specialiose mokymo aplinkose, sudarytose funkcinio programavimo kalbų pagrindu. Rengiant taikomosios informatikos specialistus, toks mokymo būdas nėra geras, nes per daug formalus ir pagrįstas specialiomis matematinėmis specifikacijomis. Remiantis autorių patirtimi, analizuojama, kaip integruoto programavimo koncepcijų mokymo principai gali būti įdiegti naudojant mokymui universalios paskirties C++ kalbą. Aptariama atskirų mokymo dalykų struktūra. Pabrėžiama tikslaus pagrindinių sąvokų kūrimo ir įvairias koncepcijas apimančių teorinių pagrindų kūrimo svarba įvadiniuose programavimo dalykuose, nes juose įgytos žinios turi didelę įtaką informatikos studentų požiūriui į savo specialybę ir tolesnių studijų sėkmei. Glaustai aptariama racionalios mokymo aplinkos parinkimo problema.Principles of integrated teaching programming concepts using C++Antanas Vidžiūnas, Artūras Mickus SummaryThe basic methods of teaching programming are presented and discussed paying attention to their disadvantages and possibilities to avoid them using integrated teaching of the main programming concepts. Usually the concept-based programmingteaching is associated with using of special teaching environment on logical programming language basis. This approach isn’t accessible in curricula for specialties in applied informatics because it is too formal and needs using of additional formal mathematical specifications. Experience of the authors shows, that it is possible to organize concept-based programming teaching using popular C++ language and structures of subjects for such studies are presented. It is emphasized that the main categories and concepts must be defined according the needs of all basic programming paradigms, because it has a great influence to the success in the further studies. Also the problem of using rational teaching environment is discussed.

Agriculture is the backbone of human sustenance in this world. With growing population, there is need for increased productivity in agriculture to be able to meet the demands. Diseases can occur on any part of a plant, but in this paper only the symptoms in the fruits of a plant is considered using segmentation algorithm and edge/ sizing detectors. We also looked at image processing using fuzzy logic controller. The system was designed using object oriented analysis and design methodology. It was implemented using MySQL for the database, and PHP programming language. This system will be of great benefit to farmers and will encourage them in investing their resources since crop diseases can be detected and eliminated early.

Abstract We present a viable approach to add rules capability or object orientation to legacy databases. Using a combination of language compilation, run-time trigger mechanisms and inter-language call facility, we integrate an object-oriented logic programming language, called OOLP, with an existing CIM Database System Product, IBM’s CIM CDF. The result is a system that provides storage management of complex objects, rule-based validation, object oriented knowledge modelling and declarative query capability.

Digital computers that automate manufacturing process are an important aspect for any manufacturing engineers in the modern world. Selection of the programming paradigm (PP), as well as the programming language (PL) that supports it, is crucial to ensure the correct ideas are being used to automate the solution of the problem. In current Malaysian Higher institution practices, various PPs and PLs courses are offered to current undergraduate manufacturing majors. An online survey was deployed to experienced manufacturing engineers from various manufacturing specializations in the industry. Graduates from one of Malaysias public universities, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) have been chosen for this particular study. From the survey, it has been found that almost 80% of the participants agreed that PPs are important for manufacturing graduates. It was found out that 90% of the participants were from intermediate (scale of 3) until poor (scale of 1) to express their ability to explain PPs if asked. Only about 10% are able to explain on PPs (scale of 4 and 5). The study concluded that majority of the manufacturing graduates from IIUM agreed that PP is an important subject to be taught in university. However, it was found the majority of the manufacturing graduates lack the knowledge and understanding of PPs and general PLs.
