"Teaching the fatal disease: (or) introductory computer programming using PL/I" pp8-23 view details Abstract: This paper discusses the problems and advantages of using PL/I as an introductory programming language. The abhorrence of the author for certain qualities of PL/I is divulged. The economico-academico-IBMical inevitability of this programming language is touched upon. Finally, and of some possible worth, certain tenents of self discipline which are required when using this language for teaching (or anything else) are explored. External link: Online copy
