Role of the C language in Current Computing Curricula Part 2 – Beyond Survey Results
نویسندگان
چکیده
In December 2006, a survey hosted on surveymonkey.com was publicized through various ACM mailing lists (SIGCSE, SIGITE). Its purpose was to determine the role of the C language in the various modern computing curricula (CS, IT...). This paper summarizes the results and stresses out the quantitative usage of this language in introductory and intermediate programming courses as well as in upper-level undergraduate courses (e.g. operating systems). We also present the qualitative reasons provided by our respondents for, or against, the adoption of the C language in these various contexts. We then discuss these results and propose an analysis of when in the curriculum the C language might be most useful, how it should be introduced and what specific topics should be covered in such a re-designed “intermediate programming in C” course.
