FIRST-COURSE LANGUAGE FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE MAJORS

Here's the:

8th edition (4-19-93)

of the list of the languages used in the FIRST course for

Computer Science majors.

The course is also often referred to as CS1.

New editions come out about every six months.

I don't keep past editions, and they're probably not very

useful in discerning trends, as most entries are NEW entries;

there have been comparatively few entry changes since the

list first appeared in May 1990.

Please send me via e-mail any CORRECTIONS or ADDITIONS

if you have FIRST-HAND, CURRENT knowledge--you're

THERE NOW, and your e-mail address SHOWS it.

It is no longer feasible to accept, or pursue the correctness

of, rumors and hearsay about languages currently in use at

sites other than your own, sorry.

Please help me get your entry right by answering:

What language(s) is(are) used in the FIRST course the MAJORITY

of your Computer Science majors take as their FIRST CS course

at your University?

Also, if you are a Modula user, and the list doesn't

show your version number, please send me a note

about which version, so I can include that in the next edition.

Thanks,

Dick
