Programming is usually taught by examples.

A primary cause of complexity is that software vendors uncritically adopt almost any feature that users want.

Experience shows that the success of a programming course critically depends on the choice of these examples.

Program construction consists of a sequence of refinement steps.

Software development is technical activity conducted by human beings.

But active programming consists of the design of new programs, rather than contemplation of old programs.

My duty as a teacher is to train, educate future programmers.
