Present programming education methods bring about many big gaps in understanding of many novice programmers. Novices suffering from big gaps in understanding would lose confidence to continue to learn programming. We introduce a method named AtoP to grain the big gaps into small gaps so that a novice can overcome the gaps. The method aims to associate programming with knowledge in many areas through interactive supervision and self-efficacy promotion.
