This research chronicles the experience a computer science department that switched to a approach in the CS0 programming lab course. This curriculum approach required students to write over 350 short programs during the semester. The percentage of students who were successful in completing the CS0 lab course dramatically improved during the two semesters in which the boot camp approach was used.
