Choosing a suitable programming language to use in teaching undergraduate courses is a critical issue. This paper discusses some issues in the choice of the programming language that need to be considered by faculty. These issues include choosing C++ versus Java, recursion versus iteration, and using the Advanced Placement tests in computer science. We also discuss and suggest some design criteria that can be used to develop a programming language for undergraduate curricula whish is more student friendly.
Index Terms:
programming language, Java versus C++, student friendly programming language
