Animation programming
Louise E. Moses · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 2006
The current problem faced by many computing departments is that only those already self-selected into computing sign up for "CS121 Programming and Problem Solving I", or the similarly named and presented first course. An Animation Programming course using ActionScript 2.0 (as found in Flash MX 2004 or Flash 8) will provide a high quality object oriented language and will have enormous student appeal.
