Zusammenfassungen
In this paper, we present the results from a two-part study. We analyze 60 programs written by
novice programmers aged 16 – 19 after their first programming course, in either Java or Python.
The aim is to find difficulties independent of the language used, and such originating from
the language. Second, we analyze the transition from a ‘‘simple’’ language to a more ‘‘advanced’’
one, by following up on eight students, who learned programming in Python before moving on to
Java.
Our results suggest that a simple language gives rise to fewer syntax errors as well as logic errors. The qualitative part of our study did not reveal any disadvantages from having learned to program in a simple language when moving on to a more complex one. This suggests that not only can a simple language be used when introducing programming as a general skill, but also when providing basic skills to future professionals in the field.
