The Impact

The object-oriented programming paradigm has gained popularity in both industry and academia, and Java is becoming the language of choice. Yet, it can be a difficult language to learn, with many hurdles for novice programmers. This overview describes how Java was successfully introduced as the first programming language in an information technology master’s program at Bentley College. Careful consideration was given to a variety of factors, including when to introduce object-oriented concepts, which integrated development environment to use, and how to support students with minimal prior programming experience. The impact of these choices on the learning experience and the factors that led to the successful implementation of Java as a first programming language are described.

High Level

During this period continued to develop computer software, programming language was no exception. At the start of the era of low level programming languages, then developed a high level programming language. It is characterized by the appearance of a method of programming offered by a programming language, that is, object-oriented programming (OOP). IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a computer program that has some facilities that are required in the development of the software. The purpose of the IDEA is to provide all the necessary utilities in building software. As for the type of software text editor that can be used to manipulate the source code hereinafter referred to as the source code of programming languages such as Ultraedit, JediEdit, ClearEdit, cEdit, the Golden Pen, and so on. PuniEdit software is a text-based editor software that can simplify the user through correction, insertion, and modification of the source code. PuniEdit software is built using Borland Delphi 7.0 and SynEdit component. This software can be used for the Pascal programming language, C++ and HTML. In addition, the software PuniEdit can perform management of the token. This PuniEdit software, the user can clearly see every occurrence of the type of token as keywords (reserved word), identifier, operator, and so on.Keywords: Source code, programming language, source code is scanned.
