چکیده

In the end-user programming arena the fundamental challenges have gradually shifted from basic syntactic challenges towards semantic challenges including the need to convey an understanding of design and engineering principles relevant to end-users. Visual programming has significantly lowered the threshold of programming [1] mostly by sharply reducing or even completely eliminating syntactic programming challenges. Visual programming languages using drag and drop mechanisms as programming approach make it virtually impossible to create syntactic errors. Even traditional textbased end-user programming approaches nowadays provide useful tools such as syntax coloring, symbol completion and wizards to reduce syntactic problems quite effectively. With the syntactic challenge being – more or less – out of the way we can focus on the semantic level of end-user programming.
