Re: Tools and the Novice Programmer
Cornell has been converting to interactive programming over the past few
years.  Beginning programming students now use a dedicated LSI-11 equipped
with floppy disk.  The system includes a screen editor that is based on the
PL/C constructs such as if, do, etc. One amazing feature of this editor is
that it is impossible to type in a program with a syntax error.  Also,
a 'slow run' mode is provided in which the cursor steps through each
statement as it is executed.
