Event-driven programming facilitates learning standard programming concepts
Kim B. Bruce, Andrea Danyluk · 2004
We have designed a CS 1 course that integrates event-driven programming from the very start. In cite BDMITiCSE1 we argued that event-driven programming is simple enough for CS 1 when introduced with the aid of a library that we have developed. In this paper we argue that early use of event-driven programming makes many of the standard topics of CS 1 much easier for students to learn by breaking them into smaller, more understandable concepts.
